Joseph should report a long-term capital gain of $8,000. The fact that Adrian assumed the mortgage does not affect Joseph's tax basis. The only relevant facts here are the fact that the land acquired in the exchange has a value of $42,000, and the tax basis of the parcel exchanged is $34,000. $42,000 - $34,000 = $8,000.
