It's not clear to me what is happening with the mortgages. If your client is paying off the old mortgage, then taking out a new morgage for the acquired property, I think the basis calculation is straigtforward.
The basis of the acquired property is reduced by the deferred gain. And, its basis is increased by the exchange expenses.
For your problem (assuming mortgages are paid off, not transferred)
Old property
Purchase price = $69,000
Depreciation = $14,000
Adj Basis = $55,000
Gain = $212,500 - $55,000 = $157,500
Realized Gain = $157,500 - $15,926 = $141,574
New Property = $357,500
Basis Adjustment = $141,574
New Property Basis = $215,926
Any suspended losses transfer to new property
