question 34

Short Answer

Suzanne received 20 ISOs (each option gives her the right to purchase 20 shares of stock for $12 per share) at the time she started working when the stock price was $13 per share. Three years later, when the share price was $23 per share, she exercised all of her options. If Suzanne holds the shares for one additional year and sells them when the market price is $30, how much gain will Suzanne recognize on the sale and how much tax will she pay assuming her marginal tax rate is 35 percent?
