Accounting

Zhang incorporated her sole proprietorship by transferring inventory, a building, and land to the corporation in return for 100 percent of the corporation's stock. The property transferred to the corporation had the following fair market values and adjusted tax bases:

FMV Adjusted Tax Basis
Inventory $ 80,000 $ 40,000
Building 600,000 400,000
Land 920,000 1,200,000
Total $ 1,600,000 $ 1,640,000

The corporation also assumed a mortgage of $100,000 attached to the building and land. The fair market value of the corporation's stock received in the exchange was $1,500,000. The transaction met the requirements to be tax-deferred under 351.

  1. Assume the corporation assumed a mortgage of $1,700,000 attached to the building and land. Assume the fair market value of the building is now $1,000,000 and the fair market value of the land is $2,120,000. The fair market value of the stock remains $1,500,000.

How much, if any, gain or loss does Zhang recognize on the exchange assuming the revised facts?
