Answer:

E) $11,000 gain.

Explanation:

Jane's capital in the partnership = $40,000 (land exchanged for stock) + $8,000 (Jane's share of the partnership's profits)  - $10,000 (distribution received by Jane) = $38,000

Jane sold her stake at the partnership at $49,000, so her gain = selling price - capital = $49,000 - $38,000 = $11,000
