Answer: $1,271
Explanation:
The tax basis of the Corporation in respect to the property received is the tax basis of the property in addition to the lesser of the gain received from the property and boot received.
Tax basis of property = $1,125
Gain received = Fair market value of property - fair market value of stock
= 1,350 - 1,040
= $310
Boot received = $146
Boot is lesser amount.
Tax basis = 1,125 + 146
= $1,271
