Sylvia keeps two items of business equipment. They were both purchased in 2006 for $100,000 mutually have a seven-year recovery period as well as both have an adjusted basis of $37,490. Sylvia is considering selling these assets in 2010. One of them is worth $40,000 as well as the other is worth $23,000. Since both items were utilized in her business Sylvia simply presumes that the loss on one will be offset against the improvement from the other and the net gain or loss will rise or reduce her business income.
