Respuesta :

Answer:

The gain that he should report from the sale for the year is $110.

Explanation:

Simons investment on Property = $200

Simon sold the property = $750

Simons receiving per year $ 150

total period = 750/150

                    = 5 years.

Total gain = 750 – 200 = 550

current year gain = 550/5

                             = $110

Therefore, The gain that he should report from the sale for the year is $110.
