    The amount of cost Cory should use to determine the gain on the condemnation is $581,000

    Explanation:

    Carrying amount $575,000

    appraisal fees to support a $750,000 value $2,500

    attorney fees for the closing with the state $3,500

    Attorney fees to review contract to acquire replacement property $3,000

    Title insurance on replacement property $4,000

    The amount of cost Cory should use to determine the gain on the condemnation compared to $750,000 received from state = Carrying amount + appraisal fees to support a $750,000 value + attorney fees for the closing with the state

    = $575,000 + $2,500 + $3,500 = $581,000

    The Attorney fees to review contract to acquire replacement property and Title insurance on replacement property reduces the net proceeds from the state thereby decreasing the gain. The $3,000 and $4,000 amounts pertaining to the replacement property are not associated with the existing property and do not affect the gain on its condemnation.
