    Given dа ta:

    Adjusted basis of property=$40000

    Cash received = $15000

    Additional stock received = $35000

    Total received = Cash received + Additional stock received

    = $35000 + $15000

    = $50000

    Gain recognized by Ben = Total received - Adjusted basis of property

    =$50,000 - $40,000

    = $10,000

    Therefore, gain recognized by Ben = $10,000
