The amount of gain or loss is recognized by Adam = Fair market value of Assets - Basis to transferor

= ($30,000 +$40,000) - ($30,000 +$30,000)

= $70,000 - $60,000

= $10,000

The amount of gain or loss is recognized by Britany = Fair market value of Assets - Basis to transferor

= ($60,000 +$30,000) - ($50,000 +$30,000)

= $90,000 - $80,000

= $10,000
