To meet this debt payment, Cooper already has sold $4,000,000 of business assets at a gain of $2,000,000. It is considering the sale of one of two assets: land valued at $3,000,000 with a basis of $1,250,000 or a building valued at $3,000,000 with a basis of $3,300,000. Its operating income for the current year is $2,000,000 without any asset sales.
