Answer #1

In books of julie the book value/adjusted basis is 50,000

Fair value of 1,00,000 is immaterial (assumption Book Value Method is followed by julie in business)

Insurance proceeds received 1,00,000

Therefore casualty gain is 1,00,000-50,000 = $50,000

If julie follow revaluation method then she revalue asset at 1,00,00 in this case there is a revaluation gain of 50,000 but casualty gain is zero..
