Deb, a cash basis taxpayer, traded a corporate bond with accrued interest of 300 for corporate stock with a fair market value of 12,000 at the time of the exchange. Debs cost of the bond was 10,000. The value of the stock had decreased to 11,000 by the end of the year. b. Deb needed 10,000 to make a down payment on her house. She instructed her broker to sell some stock to raise the 10,000. Debs cost of the stock was 3,000. Based on her brokers advice, instead of selling the stock, she borrowed the 10,000 using the stock as collateral for the debt. c.

At the time she received the tickets, each ticket had a face price of 200 and was selling on eBay for 300. On the date of the concert, the tickets were selling for 250 each.
