Sheila purchased Turner AAA bonds in May, 2016 for $47,600. In September 2018, she sold the bonds for $51,500, paying commission of $515. What is her:
Amount realized
Adjusted basis
Realized gain/loss
Recognized gain/loss
Type of gain/loss
Answer:
Amount realized = Sale value - commission paid = 51500 - 515 = $50,985
Adjusted basis = Purchase cost = $47,600
Realized Gain = Amount realized - Adjusted basis = 50985 - 47600 = $3,385
Recognized Gain = $3385
Since she held the bond for more than one year before selling in Sep 2018:
Type of gain is Long Term Capital Gain.
Hence
Amount realized = $50,985
Adjusted basis = $47,600
Realized Gain = $3,385
Recognized Gain = $3,385
Type of Gain = Long Term Capital Gain.
