Answer 2

Option A is the correct one.

$500000 sec 1245 ordinary income and $300000 sec 1231 gain

Step-by-step explanation:

The total gain is $800000

800000-(500000-500000)

Of the total $800000 gain, $500000 gain will be treated as recapture of the depreciation taken under section 1245 and the remaining $500000 is traested as gain under section 1231 as the depreciatble property is used in business for more than 1 year .
