**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.
