### Calculating Taxable Income and Tax Liability

**Scenario:**
Lily Tucker (single) owns and operates a bike shop as a sole proprietorship. In 2021, she sells the following long-term assets used in her business:

| Asset      | Sales Price | Cost     | Accumulated Depreciation |
|------------|-------------|----------|-------------------------|
| Building   | $230,000    | $200,000 | $52,000                 |
| Equipment  | $80,000     | $148,000 | $23,000                 |

Lily's taxable income before these transactions is $190,500. What are Lily's taxable income and tax liability for the year? Use the [Tax Rate Schedule](#) for reference. _(Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)_

**Step 1: Determine Gain or Loss on the Sale of Assets**

Calculate the adjusted basis and gain for each asset:

- **Building:**
  - Adjusted Basis = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
  - Adjusted Basis = $200,000 - $52,000 = $148,000
  - Gain on Sale = Sales Price - Adjusted Basis
  - Gain on Sale = $230,000 - $148,000 = $82,000

- **Equipment:**
  - Adjusted Basis = Cost - Accumulated Depreciation
  - Adjusted Basis = $148,000 - $23,000 = $125,000
  - Loss on Sale = Sales Price - Adjusted Basis
  - Loss on Sale = $80,000 - $125,000 = ($45,000)

**Step 2: Adjust Lily's Taxable Income**

- Initial Taxable Income = $190,500
- Gain on Sale of Building = $82,000
- Loss on Sale of Equipment = ($45,000)
- Adjusted Taxable Income = $190,500 + $82,000 - $45,000
- Adjusted Taxable Income = $227,500

**Step 3: Calculate Tax Liability**

Refer to the [Tax Rate Schedule](#) to calculate Lily's tax liability based on her adjusted taxable income.

| Taxable Income    | $227,500 |
