    Answer

    A. $30,750

    B.$41,500

    C.$10,750

    Explanation:

    a. 30*1,000 = $30,000

    30,000+750=$ 30,750

    Therefore John's basis in the 1,000 shares of Intel stock is $30,750.

    b. 1,000 * 42.50 = $42,500

    42,500 - 1,000 = $41,500

    Therefore John realizes $41,500

    c. 41,500 - 30,750 = $10,750

    John's gain on the sale of the Intel stock is

    $10,750
