The building was originally purchased for $200,000 and currently had a book value of $50,000 at the date of the sale.
-As a result of the sale and leaseback transaction in 2011, what is the difference between income using U.S. GAAP and IFRS in 2011?

B) U.S. GAAP income is $100,000 higher.
C) IFRS income is $50,000 lower.
