Explanation / Answer
1) a) Acquire on 15.11.2014
Short term capital gain = sale price - adjusted price = 26,000 - 15,000 = 9,000
b) Acquire on 11.09.2013
Long term capital gain = sale price - adjusted price = 26,000 - 15,000 = 9,000
2) Adjusting value
= Purchase price + Cost of improvement - Depreciation
= 750,000 + 60,000 - 137,500
= 672,500
3) a) Sold for 12,500
Gain = sale price - purchase price by father = 12,500 - 9,000 = 3,500
b) Sold for 4,600
Loss = sale price - purchase price by father = 4,600 - 9,000 = - 4,400
