Essay

In the current year, Raven sold machinery with a fair market value of $200,000. The machinery's original basis was $190,000 and Raven's accumulated depreciation on the machinery was $40,000, so its adjusted basis to Raven was $150,000. Raven received $50,000 in the current year and a note paying Raven $75,000 a year for two years beginning in next year. What is the amount and character of the gain that Raven will recognize in the current year?
