    Koch's adjusted basis in machine 2 after the exchange is $60,000

    Explanation:

    given data

    fair market value = $60,000

    originally purchased Machine 1 = $76,900

    Machine 1 adjusted basis = $40,950

    Machine 2 seller purchase = $64,050

    Machine 2 adjusted basis = $55,950

    solution

    As he exchanged machine for another at $60,000

    and this exchanged in fair market

    so adjusted basis = $50,000

    Adjusted basis is the price of the item that affects the factors that are considered price. These factors usually include taxes, depreciation value, and other costs of acquiring and maintaining a given item. Adjusted basis is important so the right amount to sell

    Adjusted basis increases when a person deducts expenses from factor taxes and operating statements

    so Koch's adjusted basis in machine 2 after the exchange is $60,000
