Answer: Gwen should report a $3,000 long-term capital gain in her income tax return.

In this question the price paid by Gwen’s mother for the shares is irrelevant because of her death.

The stock’s fair market value ($20) when Gwen inherited the shares (21st October 2015) is Gwen stepped up value.

Gwen’s gain from selling the shares is:

Gain / (Loss) = (Selling Price per share - Stepped up value per share) * Number of shares

Gain = (50 - 20) *100

Gain = $3,000

Gwen inherited the shares on (21st October 2015) and held the shares until (3rd july 2017), so she held the shares for more than one year after inheriting it.  So, she will report a long-term capital gain on her income tax return.

Consequential damages are damages that result from the one party in a contract not performing their part or breaching the contract.

In this case, New Data can sue Mona for consequential damages resulting from Mona not performing her contractual obligations. The damages that New Data can recover = $5,000 which is the profit from the lost sale. The $1,000 spent fixing the computer cannot be recovered.
