Solution

The base cost of the asset for Hendrix would be determined by the "greater of" rule in the context of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) in South Africa. According to this rule, the base cost is the greater of:

a. The market value of the asset on 1 October 2001. b. The Time-Apportionment Base (TAB) cost. c. 20% of the proceeds less allowable costs incurred on or after 1 October 2001.

Given the conditions stated in the question, the base cost of the asset would be the Market Value on 1 October 2001. This is because it is stated that the Market Value on 1 October 2001 is greater than the TAB cost and 20% of the proceeds less allowable costs incurred on or after 1 October 2001. Therefore, the base cost of the asset is the Market Value on 1 October 2001.
