    Option C is correct. ($60000)

    Feld's adjusted basis for the Maki stock = $60,000

    Explanation:

    Option C is correct. ($60000)

    On contribution of parcel of land, Feld would not receive any additional stock in the corporation rather it will increase the adjusted basis of shareholder (Feld) not by the fair market value but by the basis for the land contributed. So, Feld is going to have no gain in this case.

    Feld pays $50000 for Maki's stock

    Feld's basis for the land was $10,000

    Feld's adjusted basis for the Maki stock = Amount paid for Maki stock + Basis for land

    Feld's adjusted basis for the Maki stock = $50000+$10000

    Feld's adjusted basis for the Maki stock = $60,000
