Answer:

$20,000

Explanation:

The computation of the taxable gain is shown below:

The corporate gain is

= $40,000 - $20,000

= $20,000

Now the stock basis is increased i.e.

= $20,000 + $20,000

Now the stock basis decreased to zero i.e.

= $40,000 - $40,000

= $0

So, here the taxable gain is of $20,000
