ANSWER:-

a.

Taxable gain in the year of sale:

Written down value of the house :

$
Original cost    180,000.00
Acc dep      30,000.00
WDV    150,000.00

Total consideration received ( inclusive of mortgage assumed) :

$
Cash proceeds    120,000.00
Mortgage assumed      35,000.00
Interest on note ( 10% of 45,000)        4,500.00
Total consideration    159,500.00

Therefore taxable gain in the year of sale : $1,59,500 - $1,50,000 = $ 9,500.

b)

Taxable gain on sale = Amount Realized - Adjusted Basis

Amount Realized = Cash Received+Note received+Mortgage assumed by Purchaser

= $120,000+$45,000+$35,000 = $200,000

Adjusted basis = Original cost - Accumulated Depreciation = $180,000-$30,000 = $150,000

Taxable gain on sale = $200,000 - $150,000 = $50,000

c.

Income recognized in the current year by Instalment sales method :

The installment Method of revenue recognition under the revenue principle deals with sales that require periodic payments over a specified time period usually established within a contract called the installment sales contract.Due to conservative practices in business the installment sales method of accounting finds the gross profit percentage associated with the total sale and recognizes this percentage as gross profit as the periodic or installment payments are received. Therefore, the company does not recover the cost of the goods sold or the gross profit until the last payment has been made by the customer.

Calculation of gross profit % as follows:

$
Cash proceeds    120,000.00
Add:Mortgage      35,000.00
Add:Note      45,000.00
Total    200,000.00
WDV of property    150,000.00
Gross profit(GP)      50,000.00
GP %                        25%

Current year income recognized calculation under the Installment Sales method ( assuming interest is collected at the end of the current year) :$ 31,125.

$
Cash received    120,000.00
Interest (10% of 45000)        4,500.00
Total Cash received    124,500.00
Income 25% of 124500      31,125.00

N.B $5,000 note principal collected not considered as the same is to be collected following the year of sale and not in the current year.
