    Basis

    Ion Corporation $145,000

    Yvonne $110,000

    Simon $130,000

    Explanation:

    First of all calculate the realized gain

    Realized Gain = Fair Market value of Stock + Additions of cash - basis of Equipment = $130,000 + $35,000 - $110,000 = $55,000

    From the total gain of $55,000 is recognized, because it is received in cash and realized, other $20,000 of gain is unrealized.

    Now calculate the basis of each.

    Ion Corporation basis = Equipment basis + realized gain = $110,000 + $35,000 = $145,000

    Yvonne's basis = Equipment basis - any additional cash received + realized gain = $110,000 - $35,000 + $35,000 = $110,000

    Simon's basis is $130,000 same as the cash contributed by him.
