    c. $11,480

    Explanation:

    Given that

    Cost recovery allowed Cost recovery allowable

    Year 1 $16,000 $8,000

    Year 2 $9,600 $12,800

    Year 3 $5,760 $7,680

    The computation of gain should Tara recognize is shown below:-

    Cost $40,000

    Less:

    Greater cost of recovery

    allowable or allowed

    Year 1 $16,000

    Year 2 $12,800

    Year 3 $7,680 $36,480

    Adjusted basis $3,520

    Gain to be recognized = Residual value - Adjusted basis

    = $15,000 - $3,520

    = $11,480

    So, for computing the gain to be recognized we simply deduct the adjust basis from residual value.
