Expert Solution

Macedone Corporation can recognize a gain of $ 40,000 because the fair market value of the land was only $1,20,000 . However, the liability attached to the land was of $1,60,000. Therefore, while giving the land as a dividend it has also settled the liability worth $1,60,000.

Thus, net gain amounted to $1,60,000 - $1,20,000= $40,000
