Answer:
Capital gain tax = $1,540.
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
For stocks of A
Profit = (selling price - purchasing price) × units
= ($19 - $23) × 200
= -$800
For stocks of B
Profit = ($57-$41) × 600
= $9,600
Total profit = profit for stock A + profit for stock B
= -$800 + $9,600
= $8,800
Therefore, capital gain for both year = $8,800
Tax rate = 35%
Capital gain tax = Capital gain × Tax rate
= $8,800 × 35%
=$3,080
As share holds for more than a year,
So, Capital gain tax = $3,080 ÷ 2 = $1,540.

Answer:
Cost of the VAN <em>$53.298</em>
Explanation:
We have to enter the van as the cost for a cash purchase and all other neccesary cost to get the van ready for use and in company's possesion.
The financing cost (interest) should be excluded as are not part of the cost the company can chose to take them or not.
list x reduction = invoice
invoice less discount = cash price
60,000 x (1 - 0.13) x (1 - 0.01) = 51.678
to this, we add up the sales tax and the extra cost for the device
51,678 + 860 + 760 = <em>53.298</em>
