    Some assumptions made are: discount rate of 6%.

    Seth's marginal income tax rate is 35% and his capital gains rate is 15%.

    look below

    Tax cost associated with the current sale of inventory for $96000

    amount realized 96000

    less : Adjusted basis - 30000

    Ordinary gain recognized 66000

    tax cost (66000*35%) 23100

    Present value factor * 1.00

    Present value of tax cost 23100

    Tax cost associated with the current receipt of 30 kingfisher share, then sales in five years of $90000 shares

    current ordinary gain of kingfisher $6,000

    tax cost (66000*35%) $2,100

    Present value factor * 1.00

    Present value of tax cost

    Capital gained on sale of kingfisher shares in five years

    Amount realized 90000

    less adjusted basis - 30000

    capital gained recognized $60,000

    tax cost (66000*15%) $9,000

    Present value factor *.7473

    Present value of tax cost 6726

    Total present value of tax cost 8,826
