Answer:

Recognized gain = $60000

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the calculation:

Price of personal resident = $400000

Selling price = $460000

Since Alan purchased the house for $400000 and selling it for $460000. Therefore recognized gain can be determined by subtracting the purchase price from the selling price.

Recognized gain = $460000 - $400000

Recognized gain = $60000
