Daughter furnished $20,000, and the descedent furnished $60,000 to acquire the stock, costing $80,000. The $20,000 provided by the daughter was interest income earned from other property she originally received as a gift from her father. The stock had a date of death value of $100,000. What would be included in father's gross estate if he died first?
Answer :-
$80,000
This is because the cost of acquisition in the hand of the father is $80,000 only.
That is,Cost of Acquisition = Stock value - Income earned as gift from father
= $100,000-$20,000
= $80,000
