    C) Lilac Corporation would recognize a net capital gain of $340,000 and an ordinary loss of $20,000.

    Explanation:

    Lilac corporation must recognize both a capital gain and an ordinary loss:

    capital gain = (land 's fair market value - basis) + (stock's fair market value - basis) = ($600,000 - $300,000) + ($240,000 - $200,000) = $300,000 + $40,000 = $340,000 ordinary loss = (inventory's fair market value - basis) = $80,000 - $100,000 = - $20,000
