Respuesta :

Answer and Explanation:

Fair Market Value of stock = $26,800

Adjusted Basis                    = ($19,000)

                                            _________

                                                $7,800 - Gain

There won't be a gain on real estate exchanges as it not recognized.

FMV real estate exchange = $70,200

Deferred Gain on Real Estate =($45,800)   - (19,000 + 26,800 = $45,800)

                                                  _________

                                                    $ 24,400
