Answer 1

Answer:

$40,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the corporation's basis in the asset that was received

Using this formula

Corporation'sbasis in the asset received = Stock Adjusted basis + Cash received

Let plug in the formula

Corporation'sbasis in the asset received = $ 30,000 +$10,000
