Andre has a gain of $50,000.

It will be allocated as follows:

Machinery = $8,000; land = $30,000; and inventory = $12,000.

Machinery 40/250 = 16% x $50,000 = $8,000

Land 150/250 = 60% x $50,000 = $30,000

Inventory = 60/250 = 24% x $50,000 = $12,000

Machinery amount is = $8,000;

Land amount is = $30,000;

And inventory amount is = $12,000.

machinery 40/250 = 16% x $50,000 = $8,000;

land 150/250 = 60% x $50,000 = $30,000;

inventory = 60/250 = 24% * $ 12,000.
