Answer a) Calculation of Gain in sale of ahare on FIFO basis
No. Of share sale = 1200 @38 per share
Cost of share = 1000 share @ 24 per share = $24000
= 200 share @ 18 per share = $ 3600
= $27600
Gain on Sale of share = 1200*38-27600 = 45600-27600 = $18000
Answer b)
Cost of Share = 750 share @36 = 27000
= 450 share @24 = 10800
= $37800
Gain on sale of share = 45600-37800
= $7800
