    Answer: $20,000

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Brenda owns 100 percent of Walker Corp.

    Basis of Stock = $20,000

    Cash = $20,000

    Land with a basis = $75,000

    Land with a value = $95,000

    Gain recognized by Walker Corp = Value of land - Basis of land

    = $95,000 - $75,000

    = $20,000
