Answer:
a)
Date purchased | Shares | Basis | |
7/10/2009 | 530 | 22790 | |
4/20/2010 | 430 | 20984 | |
1/29/2011 | 630 | 23058 | |
11/02/2013 | 380 | 16036 | |
Under FIFO Method | |||
1190 shares has been sold means the below shares has been sold | |||
7/10/2009 | 530 | 22790 | |
4/20/2010 | 430 | 20984 | |
1/29/2011 | 230 | 8418 | (23058/630)*230 |
(1190-530-430) | |||
Total adjusted basis | 1190 | 52192 | |
Capital gain = (74970-52192) = $22778 |
b)
Cost of shares purchased in 2009 = Basis / Shares = $22790/ 530 = $43 per share
Cost of shares purchased in 2010 = Basis / Shares = $20984/ 430 = $48.8 per share
Cost of shares purchased in 2011 = Basis / Shares = $23058/ 630= $36.6 per share
Cost of shares purchased in 2013 = Basis / Shares = $16036/ 380 = $42.2 per share
To minimize her capital gain, Dahlia should specifically identify the 430 shares purchased in 2013, then the 530 shares purchased in 2009 and then 100 of the shares purchased in 2013.
Under the specific identification method:
430 shares purchased in 2010 | $20984 basis |
530 shares purchased in 2009 | $22790 basis |
100 shares purchased in 2013(100/380X $16036) | $4220 basis |
Total basis | $47994 |
Capital gain = Sales proceeds - tax basis of the shares sold
Capital gain = $74970 - $47994
Capital gain = $26976
