ANSWER

b).

$60000 of gain is excluded and $140000 of gain is recognized. If not for the limitation for non qualified use after December 31,2008, Sarah could have excluded the entire $200000 gain. However because Sarah sold the home after December 31, 2008,she is not eligible to exclude a percentage of the gain that would otherwise be excluded.The percentage of gain thats not excluded is a fraction, the numerator of which is the non qualified use after December 31,2008, and the denominator is the amount of time she owned the property.

In this case $140000 of $200000 gain (70%) is not excludable. The numerator of the disallowance fraction is 7 years of post 2008 non qualified use(Jan 1,2009 to Jan 1,2019). and the denominator is 10 years of ownership(Jan 1,2008 to Jan 1 2020) that is (7/10)= 70%
