    a. Rhonda's basis in the YoYo Corporation stock is $55,000.

    Explanation:

    The computation of Rhonda's basis in the YoYo Corporation stock is shown below:-

    Rhonda's basis in the YoYo Corporation stock = Basis of the land transferred + gain recognized - Boot received

    = $55,000 + $20,000 - $20,000

    = $75,000 - $20,000

    = $55,000

    Rhonda recognizes income to the extent of the $20,000 cash received. So, stock basis is $55,000.
