Ivenika [448]

Answer:

The increase in his tax liability is $1,120

Explanation:

STCL due to sale of stock = $8,000

LTCG due to sale of stock = $5,000

∴Net STCL = $8,000 - $5,000

 Net STCL = $3,000

LTCG on sale of antique clock = $7,000

∴Net LTCG on sale of antique = $7,000 - $3,000 = $4,000

LTCG on sale of antiques is taxed at the rate of 28%

∴ Tax liability = $4,000 * 28%

  Tax liability = $4,000 * 0.28

  Tax liability = $1,120
