    Answer: Gain of $600,000

    Explanation: As we know that : -

    Gain / loss = Sales value - Cost of building

    Now, we can compute cost of building on date of sale as follows : -

    cost = purchase date cost - accumulated depreciation

    = $850,000 - $ 200,000

    = $650,000

    Gain = $1,250,000 - $650,000

    = $600,000
