1. Charlie: Asset revalued

Asset Old Value New Value Gain Loss

Land 200,000 95,000 105,000

Crane 285,000 300,000 15,000

Total loss recognized by Charlie = $105,000 $15,000 = $90,000

2. Sebago: Asset revalued

Asset Old Value New Value Gain Loss

Stock 700,000 630,000 70,000

Land 200,000 95,000 105,000

Total gain recognized by Sebago = $105,000 $70,000 = $35,000

3. Betty: Asset revalued

Asset Old Value New Value Gain Loss

Crane 285,000 300,000 15,000
