    $36K. Here's the solution with the ridiculous formula:

    Recipient's new basis = donor's adjusted basis + ((gift tax paid * (FMV-adj basis) / (FMV – Exclusion)

    $36K = $24K + (($14K * ($84K-$24K) / ($84K – $14K))

    $36K = $24K + ($14K * ($60K/$70K))

    $36K = $24K + ($12K)

    Uhhhh. Anybody else planning on memorizing that crap?

    David Price owned machinery which he had acquired in 2012 at a cost of $100,000. During 2014, the machinery was destroyed by fire. At that time it had an adjusted basis of $86,000. The insurance proceeds awarded to Price amounted to $125,000, and he immediately acquired a similar machine for $110,000. What should Price report as ordinary income resulting from the involuntary conversion for 2014?

    $14,000

    $15,000

    $25,000

    $39,000

    It's A…you go a step further and deduct the difference between amount of insurance received and amount reinvested. So answer is 14K. I got it wrong too.
