Solution :-
Given data ,
Adrian purchased 1,000 shares of Actovision Corporation common stock = $50,000
Adrian sold her 1,000 shares of Actovision Corporation common stock = $40,000
Adrian repurchased 800 shares of Actovision Corporation common stock = $28,000
What is Adrian’s realized and recognized gain or loss on the November 1, 2018 sale of her Actovision Corporation common stock :-
Adrian’s realized and recognized gain or loss on the November 1, 2018 sale = [ Adrian purchased 1,000 shares of Actovision Corporation common stock - Adrian sold her 1,000 shares of Actovision Corporation common stock ]
1,000 shares Adrian’s realized and recognized gain or loss on the November 1, 2018 sale = [ 50,000 - 40,000 ]
= 10,000
1,000 shares Adrian’s realized and recognized loss on the November 1, 2018 sale = $10,000
Now,we are calculating for the 800 shares .
800 shares of Actovision Corporation common stock repurchased on November 15, 2018 = [ Adrian repurchased 800 shares of Actovision Corporation common stock + 1,000 shares Adrian’s realized and recognized gain or loss on the November 1, 2018 sale ]
800 shares of Actovision Corporation common stock repurchased on November 15, 2018 =
[ 28,000 + 10,000 ]
= 38,000
800 shares of Actovision Corporation common stock repurchased on November 15, 2018 = $38,000
