    A. $7,000

    Explanation:

    Kurt paid $15,000 for 1,000 shares.

    As ABC company declares 3-for-1 stock split, the new number of shares = 1,000 * 3 = 3,000 shares.

    New purchase price of each share = $15,000 : 3,000 = $5.

    1,000 shares price = 1,000 * 5 = $5,000.

    Kurt sells 1,000 shares for $12,000.

    Therefore, recognized gain = $ (12,000 - 5,000) = $7,000.

    However, because of stock split, Kurt gets high profit including an unrecognized profit too.
