    Answer: $250,000 Capital gain

    Explanation:

    Distribution = $500,000

    Dave's Adjusted basis = $250,000

    The distribution of $500,000 will be assumed to be for stock payment since, Dave who is a shareholder is retiring and Arnold has to redeem the stock owned by Dave. The gain is computed as the difference between the distribution and the share holder's basis in the stock, Here, Dave's basis. The excess or gain is treated as a capital gain.

    (Distribution - Adjusted basis)

    = $500,000 - $250,000

    = $250,000 Capital gain
