Respuesta :

The correct answer is Gain of $493,000 as the difference between Mrs. Heyer's basis in the property, which was identical to her mother's basis of $382,000, and the sales price of $875,000 constitutes Mrs. Heyer's gain on the sale of the real estate. As a result, the sale's gain was recorded at $493,000 ($875,000 - $382,000).
