Two years ago, Lizzy Martinez, from Atlanta, GA, invested $1,000 by buying 125 shares (8$ per share NAV) in the Can't Lose Mutual Fund, an aggressive growth no-load mutual fund. Last year, she made two additional investments of $500 each (50 shares at $10 and 40 shares at $12.50). Lizzy reinvested all of her dividends. So far, the NAV for her investment has risen from $8 per share to $13.25. Assuming that Lizzy has to pay income taxes on the difference between the sales price for the 60 shares and their cost, how much is the difference?
