    Answer: D. $2000

    Explanation:

    Profit (gain) = selling price - cost price

    Cost price = $8000

    Selling price = $10000

    Profit (gain) = $10000 - $8000

    = $2000

    D) $2,000

    Explanation:

    Angela's basis on the stocks will be the same as her father's. Since she sold the stocks, her basis will be $8,000, so her recognized gains will = selling price - basis = $10,000 - $8,000 = $2,000

    The IRS allows the donee (Angela) to use the doners (Ralph) basis when selling an asset received as a gift in order to determine the realized gain/loss.
