Explanation / Answer

Answer:- The basis of the stock is $84,000. The basis of the stock for the purposes of section 1244 is only $84,000.

Susan would have a $ 51,000 of loss ($33,000 MVS of stock in two years - $84,000 basis); however Only $ 82,000 ($33,000 MV of stock in two years - $115,000 basis of the stock under section 1244 ) of the loss would be ordinary under section 1244. The remaining $31,000 gain would be a capital gain.
