Solution

To calculate the net capital gain or loss, we need to consider the cost base of the asset and the capital proceeds from the disposal of the asset.

  1. Cost Base: The cost base of the antique bed includes the purchase price and any additional costs associated with improving the asset. In this case, the cost base is 3,500(purchaseprice)+3,500 (purchase price) + 1,500 (alteration costs) = $5,000.

  2. Capital Proceeds: This is the amount the client received when the asset was disposed of. In this case, the insurance payout of $11,000 is considered the capital proceeds.

  3. Capital Gain or Loss: This is calculated by subtracting the cost base from the capital proceeds. In this case, 11,000(capitalproceeds)11,000 (capital proceeds) - 5,000 (cost base) = $6,000.

Therefore, your client has a net capital gain of $6,000 for the year ended 30 June of the current tax year.
