Question

Ashley and Benjamin are the sole owners of Super Corporation. Ashley owns 40% of the stock and Benjamin owns 60%. Several years after the creation of the corporation, Ashley contributes an additional $20,000 in cash and Benjamin contributes additional property with a fair market value of $30,000 and an adjusted basis of $25,000.
What amount of income is recognized by Super Corporation as a result of these contributions?

Answer 1
