Ubaldo is the owner of a building which has been leased by Remigio for the past 20 years. Ubaldo has repeatedly assured Remigio that if he should decide to sell the building, he will give Remigio the right of first refusal. On June 30, 1994, Ubaldo informed Remigio that he was willing to sell the building for P5 Million. The following day, Remigio sent a letter to Ubaldo offering to buy the building at P4.5 Million. Ubaldo did not reply. One week later, Remigio received a letter from Santos informing him that the building has been sold to him by Ubaldo for P5 Million, and that he will not renew Remigio’s lease when it expires. Remigio filed an action against Ubaldo and Santos for cancellation of the sale, and to compel Ubaldo to execute a deed of absolute sale in his favor, based on his right of first refusal.
a) Will the action prosper? Explain.

- Mr. Smith acquired a property consisting of one acre of land and a two-story building five years ago for $100,000. He also obtained an $80,000 mortgage loan from ACE Bank to provide financing to complete the purchase. This year, Mr. Smith constructed another building on the property with his own funds at a cost of $20,000. Mr. Smith has decided after completing the building to approach Duce Bank to borrow and mortgage the new building with a $16,000 loan. Is Duce Bank likely to provide the $16,000 in financing? What other options may Mr. Smith have to consider?arrow_forwardOlivia wants to buy some vacant land for investment purposes. She cannot afford the full purchase price.

They have owned their primary residence for 10 years and have lived in it the entire time. They paid $350,000 for the house and land and it is now worth $ 900,000. Due to the property's prime location in Stephenville, the City of Stephenville has decided to "take" the property and turn it into a public park and venue. The City sends Jared and Melissa a letter offering to buy the property for $800,000. Jared and Melissa reject the offer and the case goes to trial where a judge determines the value to be $950,000 and orders the City to pay that amount for the property it claimed using eminent domain. After Jared and Melissa receive the $950,000, they decide not to buy a new house and instead they live in their camper and travel around the country. Do Jared and Melissa have to pay tax on the money they received? Be sure to fully explain your analysis.arrow_forward
- There is a parcel of land next to the Playful Paws, Inc. building. Ellen, the owner of this property, approached John to discuss the idea of selling it to him. John is interested. Ellen knows that John owns a vacant lot downtown and his basis on the lot is $82,000. Ellen has proposed an exchange. She told John there may be a tax advantage for John in doing so. The land next to Playful Paws is worth $100,000. In addition to the land, Ellen will pay John $20,000 cash at closing. Assuming they complete the exchange, please let John know: A. His current basis. B. If there are any immediate tax consequences as a result of the sale. C. His basis in the new lot after the exchange.arrow_forwardKen sold a rental property for $682,000.

Of the sales price, $502,500 was allocated to the building, and the remaining $179,500 was allocated to the land. Ken purchased the property several years ago for $576,500. When he initially purchased the property, he allocated $457,500 of the purchase price to the building and $119,000 to the land. Ken has claimed $30,900 of depreciation deductions over the years against the building. Ken had no other sales of §1231 or capital assets in the current year.

Courtney inherited the property from her uncle when he died on June 6, 1999. At that time, the land was valued at $40,000. It has since been rezoned for commercial use and has a current value of $200,000. On February 10, 2019, Courtney exchanged the Lincoln parcel for a similar tract in Minnehaha County worth $190,000 and cash of $10,000. On September 2, 2019, Courtney sold a tract of land in McCook County to a farmer who owned the adjoining property. The land was inherited from the same uncle who died in 1999 and was valued at $30,000 on June 6, 1999. Under the terms of the sale, Courtney received cash of $20,000 and a note receivable to be paid in four equal installments at 1-year intervals from the date of sale. Each note calls for the payment of $25,000 plus simple interest of 8%. To the extent allowed by law, Courtney wants to defer recognition of gain for as…arrow_forward
- Blaine is a practicing dentist. He operates his business from the basement of his house, with a separate entrance and facilities. Blaine uses the simplified method every year to calculate his business-use-of-home deduction. How will he calculate his depreciation for recapture when he sells the house? He will divide the basement square footage by the total square footage, multiply that percentage by the fair market value, and use the depreciation tables to calculate allowable depreciation to be recaptured. He will take the total fair market value of the home and use the depreciation tables to calculate allowable depreciation to be recaptured. Blaine has no depreciation to recapture. He uses the simplified method every year which means his depreciation is considered to be zero. Blaine will use Form 4797 to calculate the allowable depreciation amount and recapture that amount.

Kase is approached by a real estate agent representing a client who would like to exchange a parcel of land in North Carolina for Kase’s Maryland property. Kase agrees to the exchange.

Bob agrees to let Steve come onto the property before the closing date so that Steve can renovate the farmhouse kitchen and build a new barn before he takes over formally. By the time Bob tells Steve that he has changed his mind and that he will not be completing the transaction on the closing date, Steve has spent $40,000 on the property. Under the Statute of Frauds, since their agreement was not evidenced in writing, Steve cannot enforce it in court, and cannot recover the $40,000. Steve can use the doctrine of promissory estoppel to force Bob to complete the transaction and give him the farm in exchange for $250,000. Because of the Statute of Frauds, Steve cannot get the farm, but he can sue Bob for the tort of deceit and recover the S40,000. Steve can ask a court to order specific performance of the contract because he has spent a lot of money on the…arrow_forward
