Answer: a. Gary recognizes a $1,000 LTCG

Explanation:

Long Term Capital Gain is calculated by the formula:

= Distribution from company - Basis in stock - Ordinary income earned during the year

= 16,000 - 4,000 - 11,000

= $1,000

First statement is therefore correct that Gary would recognize an LTCG of $1,000.
