    Darla's amount realized on the sale is $800

    Adjusted basis in the assets sold is $300

    Producing a realized gain on the sale of $500

    Explanation:

    Amount realized = cash received + FMV of other property + buyer's assumption of seller's liabilities - seller's expenses

    Amount realized = 600 + 200 + 0 - 0

    = $800

    Adjusted basis = initial basis - cost recovery deductions

    Adjusted basis = 2500-2200 = $300

    Gain or loss realized = amount realized - adjusted basis = 800-300

    = $500

    Therefore Darla's amount realized on the sale is $800 and the adjusted basis in the assets sold is $300, producing a realized gain on the sale of $500
