Question

David purchased stock in Zoll Corporation in 1985 for $6,000.  On April 16, 2013 he gifted the stock to his daughter Susan; at the time of the gift, the Zoll stock was valued at $250,000. Susan sold the stock the next month for $ 252,000.  What is Susan's gain or loss and what is the character of the gain or loss?

Any help would be most appreciated as I am a bit confused on the concept of gifting.
