On November 4, 2018, Blue Company acquired an asset (27.5-year residential real property) for $200,000 for use in its business. In 2018 and 2019, respectively, Blue deducted $642 and $5,128 of cost recovery. These amounts were incorrect; Blue applied the wrong percentages (i. e., those for 39-year rather than 27.5-year assets). Blue should have taken $910 and $7,272 cost recovery in 2018 and 2019, respectively. On January 1, 2020, the asset was sold for $180,000. A. The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 is $.

C. Theon the sale of the asset in 2020 is $.

A. $191,818

B. $303

C. Loss; $11,515

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine what The adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 is

Cost of asset $200,000

Less Greater of allowed and allowable cost recovery:

2018 $910

2019 $7,272 ($8,182)

($910+$7,272=$81,82)

Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 $191,818

($200,000-$8,182)

Therefore the Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 will be $191,818

B. Calculation to determine what The cost recovery deduction for 2020 is

Cost recovery deduction for 2020= ($200,000 x .03636 x 0.5 / 12)

Cost recovery deduction for 2020=$303

Therefore The Cost recovery deduction for 2020 is $303

C. Calculation to determine what Theon the sale of the asset in 2020 is

Based on the information given we would be using 0.3636 as the percentage for 27.5-year assets.

Cost of asset $200,000

Less Greater of allowed and allowable cost recovery:

2018 $910

2019 $7,272 ($8,182)

($910+$7,272=$81,82)

Adjusted basis of the asset at the end of 2019 $191,818

($200,000-$8,182)

Less Cost recovery for 2020 $303

($200,000 * .03636 * 0.5 / 12)

Basis on date of sale $191,515

($191,818-$303)

Loss on sale of asset ($11,515)

($180,000 – $191,515)

Therefore The LOSS on the sale of the asset in 2020 is $11,515

month 2 starting amount= $2,091.87 interest =$25.28 total to pay =$2117.15 paid =$1200 balance $917.15

month 3 starting amount =$917.15 interest =$11.08 total to pay =$928.23 paid =$928.23 balance =$0 total to pay 1200+1200+928.23 = $3328.23 it will take 3 months to pay a total of $3328.23
