问题如下:
Today is 23 August 20x3, and Ka
sells 200 shares. The current share price is $124.00. The tax rate for long-term
holdings is 25%, and the tax rate for short-term holdings is 40%. A holding
period of less than six months is considered short-term for tax purposes. Ka has
chosen HIFO (highest in, first out) as his tax lot accounting method.
Determine the tax lot that would be most tax efficient to sell given Ka’s chosen tax lot accounting
method. Calculate the tax
liability/benefit from the sale.

解释:
我的回答是这样的:
tax lot b- higher acquisition price $135- HIFO also considered as long-term because nov 17, 20x2 was longer than 6 months ago.
tax benefit= (124-135)0.25*200=550
我直接说了tax benefit是正的550,看了答案好像还是写的-550 benefit/liability.
