Problem 3-57 (LO 3-5) (Algo)
Daniel is considering selling two stocks that have not fared well over recent years. A friend recently informed Daniel that one of his
stocks has a special designation, which allows him to treat a loss up to $74,000 on this stock as an ordinary loss rather than the typical
capital loss. Daniel figures that he has a loss of $88,800 on each stock. If Daniel's marginal tax rate is 35 percent and he has $177,600
of other capital gains (taxed at 15 percent), what is the tax savings from the special tax treatment?
