          lots.  Mr. Lohr noted that an estimate of the costs for 14 lots             
          in 1989 would have been $6,642.41 per lot.  Petitioner compares             
          this to the roughly $12,000 per lot for the 48 Lots in the                  
          Exchange Property.  According to petitioner, the estimated profit           
          per home of about $8,000 per lot would be wiped out by the                  
          increased off-site cost of $6,000 per lot.                                  
               Our evaluation of petitioner's argument is restricted                  
          because it did not submit any projected profit analysis for the             
          development (besides Mr. Baker's testimony).  In regard to the 14           
          lots, only after construction did Mr. Baker check the costs and             
          he felt there was a profit somewhere around "4- to 5-, $6,000 per           
          house, maybe a little higher."  Later, Mr. Baker testified that             
          petitioner made profit of around $8,000, maybe $8,000 to $10,000.           
               The parties submitted a summary by petitioner's accountant             
          Eadie and Payne reflecting the following income on the sale of              
          the 14 houses:
