    a. Conan will recognise a taxable gain of $8,000 as a result of the transaction

    b. The basis Conan will take in the LN stock he receives is $ 5,000

    Explanation:

    a.

    Given

    Fair market value = $18,000

    Adjusted Basis = $10,000

    A taxable gain / loss is calculated by subtracting adjusted basis from fair market value.

    Hence,

    Taxable gain or loss that Conan will recognize as a result of the transaction = Fair Market Value - Adjusted Basis

    = $18,000 - $10,000

    = $ 8,000

    Since it is a positive value, then the it's a taxable gain

    b.

    Fair market value = $18,000

    Cash Received = $13,000

    The basis Conan will take in the LN stock he receives is calculated as follows;

    Basis in stock = Fair market value - Cash received

    = $18,000 - $13,000

    = $ 5,000
