    Recognized gain = $6000

    Basis of the bond = $22,000

    Explanation:

    Given the following;

    Adjusted basis of stock = $19,000

    After trading the stock for bond;

    Market value of bond = $22,000

    Cash received = $3000

    Recognized gain = valuation after trading stock for bond - Adjusted basis of stock

    Therefore,

    Recognized gain = ($22,000+$3000) - $19,000 = $6000

    Basis of a bond is simply the market value or quoted price of the bond.

    Here, the market value of the bond received by trading his stock is $22,000

    Therefore, the basis of the bond is $22,000
