Based on your computations and relevant sections of the Internal Revenue Code, explain the tax consequences on the possible sale or exchange of the land, including the impact on cash flow and salary or cash distributions. You are currently working at a mid-sized certified public accounting firm. Your client is Bob Jones. Bob, age 60 and single, has recently retired from IBM.
