Expert Solution

capital gain = final sale price- cost of acquisition+house improvement cost +transfer cost

950000+700000-420000-480000-380000= 370000

capital gain = 3,70,000$

total tax payable as far as a property is concerned which has to be calculated on the basis of 20% on capital gain that will be amounted to $74,000.
