The formula to calculate the Installment Sales Basis (ISB) is:
\[ ISB = AB + SE + RD \]
Where:
Let's say the adjusted basis (\( AB \)) is $50,000, the selling expenses (\( SE \)) are $5,000, and the recaptured depreciation (\( RD \)) is $2,000. Using the formula:
\[ ISB = 50000 + 5000 + 2000 \]
We get:
\[ ISB = 57000 \]
So, the Installment Sales Basis (\( ISB \)) is $57,000.
Suppose the adjusted basis (\( AB \)) is $30,000, the selling expenses (\( SE \)) are $3,000, and the recaptured depreciation (\( RD \)) is $1,000. Using the formula:
\[ ISB = 30000 + 3000 + 1000 \]
We get:
\[ ISB = 34000 \]
So, the Installment Sales Basis (\( ISB \)) is $34,000.
Installment Sales Basis refers to the total amount used to determine the gain or loss on the sale of an asset when payments are received over time. It includes the adjusted basis, selling expenses, and recaptured depreciation.
