Ms. D sold a business that she had operated as a sole proprietorship for 18 years. On date of sale, the business balance sheet showed the following assets:

  Tax Basis
Accounts receivable $ 33,500  
Inventory   156,800  
Furniture and equipment:      
Cost   46,500  
Accumulated depreciation   (37,200 )
Leasehold improvements:      
Cost   30,000  
Accumulated amortization   (6,000 )

The purchaser paid a lump-sum price of $345,700 cash for the business. The sales contract stipulates that the FMV of the business inventory is $165,200, and the FMV of the remaining balance sheet assets equals adjusted tax basis.
