Textbook Question
Chapter 17, Problem 31P
LO.1, 2 Jenny purchased timber on a 100-acre tract of land in South Dakota in March 2017 for $100,000. On January 1, 2019, the timber had a fair market value of $145,000. Because of careless cutting in November 2019, when the fair market value was $158,000, the wood was sold on January 30, 2020, for $98,000.
- a. What gain (loss) was recognized in 2018, 2019, and 2020 if Jenny elected to treat the cutting as a sale?
- b. What was the nature of the gains (losses) in part (a)?
- c. Does the answer change if the timber was sold in December 2019? Why or why not?
- d. If the timber was worth only $58,000 on January 1, 2019, was cut in November when it was worth $33,000, and was sold in December for $59,000, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) change?
