Answer: $102,500 gain recognized and a basis in the land of $520000

Step-by-step explanation:

From the information given in the question, we can infer that the amount of gain that Red Blossom recognize in the exchange will be:

= Fair market value of land - Corporation's basis in the Tea Company stock

= $520,000 - $417,500

= $102500

We should also note that the land basis will be $520000 which is the fair market value of the land.
