Answer 1

Answer: $13800

Explanation:

Based on the information to given in the question, the net gain or loss will be calculated as:

Long term capital gain (28%) = $24000

Add: Long term capital gain (25%) = $9,600

Add: Long term capital gain (15%) = $12,000

Add: Short term capital gain = $3,000

Total Capital gains = $48,600

Long term capital loss = ($9,600)

Long term capital loss (15%) = ($18,000)

Short term capital loss = ($7,200)

Total capital loss = ($34,800)

Then, the gain will be:

= $48600 - $34800

= $13800
