What factors would motivate Rose to sell Machine A and purchase Machine B rather than exchange one machine for the other? d. Assume that the adjusted basis of Machine A is $15,000 and the fair market value of both machines is $12,000. Respond to parts (a) through (c).

Expert Solution

Solution:

(a) Calculation of Rose's Company realised and recognized gain on the sale of Machine:

Particulars	Amount($)
Amount realised	15,000
Adjusted basis	(12,000)
Realized gain	3,000

Therefore, recognized gain = $3,000

(b) The basis for Machine 'B' is its cost of $15,000

(c) Such an exchange would have been resulted in the realized gain postponed under 1031. However, this would have caused Rose Company's basis in the machine received to be $12,000($12,000 adjusted basis + $0 boot given or $15,000 fair market value- $3000 postponed gain). Because the sale transaction is fully taxable, the recognition of gain let's Rose Company have a higher basis for the new machine. In addition, Rose May have some losses with which it can offset the $3,000 recognized gain.

(d)

Particulars	Amount ($)
Amount realized	12,000
Adjusted basis	(15,000)
Realized loss	(3,000)

Therefore, recognized loss = ($3,000)

The basis for machine 'B' is its cost of $12,000.

Avoiding 1031 treatment enables Rose Company to recognize the $3,000 realized loss.
