Answer:

$3,570

Explanation:

Particulars                        FMV             Basis                Differences

Inventory                      $74,000           $37,000              $37,000

Accounts receivable   $54,000           $54,000               $0

Equipment                   $74,000            $94,000              -$20,000

Taxable gain                                                                        $17,000

Tax rate = 21%

So, Built-in gains tax = Taxable gain × tax rate

= $17,000 × 21%

= $3,570
