Question - Cooper and Dane companies exchange delivery trucks with each other. The exchange qualifies as like-kind for both parties. Each of the exchanged properties is encumbered by liabilities. Cooper gives a truck with a $50,000 value and an adjusted basis of $35,000. Cooper's truck is encumbered by a $30,000 liability that is assumed by Dane. Dane transfers a truck with a value $30,000 and an adjusted basis of $35,000. Dane's truck is encumbered by a $20,000 liability assumed by Cooper.
