Answer:

Emily has a basis of $60,000 in the shares of Red Corporation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Emily's basis for Red Corporation's stock = real estate ($40,000) + service ($20,000) = $60,000

Sarah's basis for Red Corporation's stock = computers ($80,000) = $80,000

Even though both Emily and Sarah received 600 shares each, the basis for her tax calculations are different.
