    correct answer is a. $81,000

    Explanation:

    given data

    homeowner bought = $75,000

    time = 5 years

    homeowner spent = $3,000

    central heating or air conditioning cost = $4,000

    neighboring property owner paid = $1,000

    solution

    we get here homeowner adjusted basis if house sold today that is

    homeowner adjusted basis = homeowner bought + homeowner spent + air conditioning cost - neighboring property owner paid ... 1

    put here value and we get

    homeowner adjusted basis = $75,000 + $3,000 + $4,000 - $1,000

    homeowner adjusted basis = $81,000

    so correct answer is a. $81,000
