    Answer: A. $25,000 B. $90,000 C. $25,000

    Explanation:

    A.

    Land $100,000

    Stock 25,000

    Amount realized 125,000

    Less: Adjusted basis (90000)

    Recognized gain $35,000

    When you receive book in an exchange which is similar or like kind, then the recognized gain is the lesser of either the boot or recognized gain. Here the lesser is the boot received which is $25,000. Therefore, recognized gain is $25,000

    B.

    Because the recognized gain is taken as $25,000 rather than $35,000. The $10,000 amount is considered as postponed gain. Hence,

    $100,000 (land worth) - $10,000 (postponed gain) = $90,000 - basis of new land.

    C.

    The worth of the stock is the basis in the stock received. Which is $25,000
