    a. $45,000

    b. $100,000

    Explanation:

    The computations are shown below:

    a. Recognized gain would be

    = Fair market value of real estate + cash received + mortgage loan - Carey's basis in the real estate given up

    = $100,000 + $15,000 + $50,000 - $120,000

    = $45,000

    b. For property received:

    = Carey's basis in the real estate given up - cash received - mortgage loan + recognized gain

    = $120,000 - $15,000 - $50,000 + $45,000

    = $100,000
