A) $40,000.
B) $80,000.

D) $130,000.


C) $100,000.

The contract price is the greater of (1) the gross profit on the sale or (2) the selling price reduced by the existing mortgage assumed by the buyer:
(1) Gross profit on sale—$140,000 selling price less $10,000 selling expenses less $10,000 depreciation recapture less adjusted basis of $80,000 = $40,000.
(2) Selling price less mortgage assumed by buyer : $140,000 - $40,000 = $100,000.
