Answer:

Ray’s recognized gain = $11,000

Trish’s basis = $26,000.

Option "D" is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given:

Adjusted value of stock = $25,000

Market vale = $15,000

Sales price = $26,000

Find:

Ray’s recognized gain

Trish’s basis

Computation:

Ray’s recognized gain = Sales price - Market vale

Ray’s recognized gain = $26,000 - $15,000

Ray’s recognized gain = $11,000

Trish’s basis = $26,000.
