Answer:

D) $2,000

Explanation:

Angela's basis on the stocks will be the same as her father's. Since she sold the stocks, her basis will be $8,000, so her recognized gains will = selling price - basis = $10,000 - $8,000 = $2,000

The IRS allows the donee (Angela) to use the doners (Ralph) basis when selling an asset received as a gift in order to determine the realized gain/loss.

Answer: D. $2000

Explanation:

Profit (gain) = selling price - cost price

Cost price = $8000

Selling price = $10000

Profit (gain) = $10000 - $8000

= $2000
