On March 15, 2018, Crestview Corporation acquired a commercial building (39-year nonresidential real property) for $350,000 for use in its business. In 2018 and 2019, respectively, Crestview took $5,980 and $8,970 of cost recovery. These amounts were incorrect because Crestview applied the wrong percentage (i.e., those for 27.5-year rather than 39-year property). Crestview should have taken $4,212 and $8,974 cost recovery in 2018 and 2019. On July 1, 2020, the building was sold for $330,000. Calculate the gain or loss on the sale of the building in 2020.
