    B) Neither Mitchell nor Powell has any recognized gain or loss.

    Explanation:

    Section 351 (a) of the IRS code establishes that when:

    property is transferred to a corporation by a shareholder solely in exchange for stocks of the corporation, and the person (or people) that transferred the property take immediate control of the corporation,

    no gain or loss can be recognized from that transaction.
