Guys,

Leker exchanged a van that was used exclusively for business and which had an adjusted tax basis of $20,000 for a new van. The new van had a fair market value of $10,000, and Leker also received $3,000 in cash. What was Leker's tax basis in the acquired van?

  $20,000
  $17,000
  $13,000
  $7,000

Ans:- 17000 .

I thought it should have been $13000. Can someone help explain this to me ?

Old Basis $20,000
+Boot paid 0
+ Gain Recognized 0
- Boot Received 3,000
==================
= New Basis $17,000

$17,000 is the correct answer, not $13,000
