question 65

Short Answer

Hazel received 20 NQOs (each option gives her the right to purchase 10 shares of stock for $7 per share) at the time she started working when the stock price was $14 per share.

If Hazel holds the shares for two years and sells them when the market price is $25, how much gain will Hazel recognize on the sale and how much tax will she pay assuming her marginal tax rate is 25 percent?
