Answer:
The question is incomplete since we are not told if the capital gain is a short or long term gain. So I will answer the question in both possible scenarios.
Short term capital gains:
They are taxed as ordinary income, so the net gain = $35,000 - $7,000 = $28,000
Net gain after taxes = $28,000 x (1 - 53.31%) = $13,073.20
Long term capital gains:
They are taxed at a much lower rate that ranges from 0 to 20%. In this case, Christopher is probably taxed at 20%.
Net gain after taxes = $28,000 x (1 - 20%) = $22,400
