Calculation of amount realized:

Particular Amount

Cash: $650,000

Note: $600,000

Fair market value: $120,000

Mortgage Debt: $350,000

The Amount realized was: $1,720,000

Explanation: The $1,720,000 was realized by adding the mortgage cost he sold the land for which was $650,000 to the the note of $600,000, plus the market value which was $120,000, and adding finally, the mortgage debt which was $350,000 all amounting to a realized amount of $1,720,000
