What is the total amount of income J. D. recognizes related to Clampett, Incorporated, in 2021

the total amount of income J.D. recognizes related to Clampett, Incorporated, in 2021 =$5,000

Explanation:

Income  of J.D related to Clampett = Ordinary income + Capital gain

Given that Basis distribution = $50,000

                   Basis stock = $45,000

                  Ordinary income = $10,000

But Capital gain  = Basis distribution -( Basis stock  + Ordinary income)

Capital gain = $50,000 - ($45,000 +$10,000)

Capital gain =  $50,000 - $55,000

Capital gain =  = - $5,000

Therefore J.D. income related to Clampett = Ordinary income + Capital gain =$10,000 +(- $5,000)

=$10,000 - $5,000

=$5,000
