    taxable amount = $10,000

    Explanation:

    given data

    2 year ago fair market value = $30,000

    fair market value = $40,000

    sold the stock = $50,000

    solution

    we get here taxable amount when ESOP sold

    so taxable amount = Selling price - fair market value on distribution date ... 1

    put here value

    taxable amount = $50000 - $40000

    taxable amount = $10,000 long term capital gain
