Solution

To calculate Larry's taxable gain, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Determine the total gain from the sale of the house. This is done by subtracting the base cost of the asset from the selling price.

    Total Gain = Selling Price - Base Cost Total Gain = R5,000,000 - R1,750,000 Total Gain = R3,250,000

  2. Since Larry used only 20% of his home for his business, only 20% of the gain can be considered for tax purposes.

    Taxable Gain = Total Gain * Percentage Used for Business Taxable Gain = R3,250,000 * 20% Taxable Gain = R650,000

So, the correct answer is a. R 650 000.
