Tanzania [10]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Data given in the question

Sale value of the property = $5,000,000

Cost basis of property = $2,750,000

And, the taxable income is $12,150,000

So, based on the above information, the capital gain on the property is

= (Sale value of the property - Cost basis of property) × capital gain tax rate

= ($5,000,000 - $2,750,000) × 15%

= $337,500

We assume the capital gain tax rate is 15%

Hence, the given statement is true
