    Katarina recognizes a basis of $200,000 while Spartan should record a gain of $150,000

    Explanation:

    Firstly, Spartan has effectively sold the land whose market value was $200,000 and initial basis of $50,000, hence the difference between the market value on the date of transfer and actual basis of $150,000 ($200,000-$50,000) is the gain to be recognized.

    However, the Katarina has taken possession of the land whose current value is $200,000, hence the basis to Katarina should reflect the actual market value of $200,000
