    The answer is: $225,000

    Explanation:

    Ford should include a total gain of $225,000 in its income statement.

    That gain is the result of the difference between the carrying value of the asset (land) and the carrying value of the liability (debt note).

    $425,000 - $200,000 = $225,000 as total gain
