Answer:
$145,000
Explanation:
Data provided in the question:
Adjusted basis of the barn = $125,000
Amount paid by the insurance company = $150,000
Amount reinvested in another barn = $170,000
Now,
Basis of the new barn
= Adjusted Basis of old barn + Additional amount spend on new barn in excess of amount paid by insurance company
= $125,000 + [ $170,000 - $150,000 ]
= $125,000 + $20,000
= $145,000
