    The recognized loss is $10,000 and the basis of the new factory building is $450,000

    Explanation:

    The computations are shown below:

    Gain or loss = Insurance proceeds received - the adjusted basis of the building

    = $390,000 - $400,000

    = ($10,000)

    And, the basis of the new factory building would be $450,000 as it includes only construction cost

    All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
