I need help please.

Imagine you buy house 1 for $100,000. You sell it for $150,000. If we ignore expenses, depreciation ... Let's say your deferred gain is $50,000 and cost basis is $100,000. Now you buy a new house #2 with the $150,000 you received from the first sale. what is the cost basis for house 2?

    Add the value of any other property you transfer in the exchange, the amount of cash you are contributing to the new purchase, and any recognized gain on the sold property. $150,000
    Subtract any money or property you received in the exchange. $150,000
