Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is $230,000 gain.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation of the given data are as follows:

Fair value = $880,000

Basis = $650,000

So, we can calculate the gain or loss  on the distribution by using following formula:

Gain or Loss = Fair value - Basis

By putting the value, we get

Gain or Loss = $880,000 - $650,000

= $230,000 ( Positive shows gain)

So, Gain = $230,000.
