    Answer explained

    Explanation:

    The personal injury payment is not taxable. Thus, Sam is not required to pay taxes on $6 million.

    This amount is the payment for the injury to sam, so, the amount of 6 million is not taxable.

    B.

    The amount received by the Sam for the punitive damages of $4 million will be taxed as the income. This is because this was to punish the wrong doer not to the Sam. Thus, the X will be $4 million.
