    The answer is 5,000. the option (a) is correct

    Explanation:

    Solution

    Given that:

    The adjusted basis of land = $11,000

    The fair market value = $16,000

    Now,

    We have to find how much gain should Fred recognize on the exchange

    Thus

    The fair market value of land = $12,000 + $4,000 = $16,000

    Recognized exchange by Fred = fair market value of land - Give up value

    = $16,000 - $11,000

    =$5,000

    Therefore, the gain Fred should recognize or notice on the exchange is $5,000
