    Realized and Recognized Gain Help?
    Can someone PLEASE HELP with the following questions? I think I am doing this correctly, but I am unsure. I have done the first one, and I'm stuck on computing the other two!

    You transfer land with a basis of $20,000 and cash of $6,000 and receive a building with a FMV of $35,000.

    How much is your realized gain? _(35,000-6,000-20,000__$9000
    How much is your recognized gain? __9,000___
    What is the basis of the building? ___20,000-9,000=11,000___


    You transfer land with a basis of $33,000 and receive a building with a fair market value of $65,000 and an attached mortgage of $18,000 and securities with a fair market value of $7000 (basis of $5000). You assume the mortgage on the building.

    Realized gain ______________________
    Recognized gain ____________________
    Basis of building ____________________
    Basis of securities ____________________

    You transfer land with a basis of $25,000 and securities with a fair market value of $3,000 (basis $7,000). You receive a building with a fair market value of $90,000 and an auto with a fair market value of $5,000.

    Realized gain ________________________
    Recognized gain ______________________
    Basis of building ______________________
    Basis of auto _________________________

    Sorry, this is clearly a HOMEWORK question, and, under the rules of this forum, we are prohibited from helping with such homework.

    I can't even get a guided response? I have shown what I think I am doing, but am unsure if I am taking the correct approach
