Answer:

$241,700

Explanation:

Luoise's basis in her house = purchase price + any costs associated and necessary to complete the purchase process = $240,000 (price of the house) + $750 (lawyer's fees) + $150 (property survey) + $800 (title insurance) = $241,700

In order to determine a house's basis, you must assume that you are purchasing the house using cash, no fees directly related to a mortgage are included, nor gifts to real estate agents.
