Answer 1

ANSWER:

(a)

Realized loss = 127,185 – 136,335

= 9,150

Recognized loss = 0

(b)

Adjusted basis = Cost of shares + loss not recognized = 191,540 + 9,150

= 200,690

(c)

Realized loss = 9,150

Shares sold are 183 but purchased back are only 122. Loss is recognized for = 183 – 122

= 61 shares

Recognized loss = 9,150 X 61/183 = 3,050

Basis of shares = 103,090 + 9,150 X 122/183

= 109,190
