Instructions:
Mr. Geoffrey Guo had a variety of transactions during the 2019 year. Determine the total taxable capital gains included in Mr. Guo's division B income. The transactions included:
1. On January 1, 2019, Geoffrey purchased 2300 shares of Ted Ltd. at $27 per share and 600 shares at $35 per share on February 5, 2019. He sold 270 of these shares on July 20, 2019 at $23 per share.
2. On September 30, 2019, he purchased an additional 900 shares of Ted. Ltd. at $29 per share. On December 30, 2019, he sold 300 Ted Ltd. shares at $65 per share.
3. Geoffrey owns 3100 shares of Baxter Ltd. with an adjusted cost base of $12 per share. On May 15, 2019, he sells all 3100 Baxter Ltd. shares at $5 per share. On May 20, 2019, he acquires 1200 shares of Baxter Ltd. at a cost of $4 per share and is still holding these shares at the end of the year.
4. On July 6, 2019, Geoffrey sells a capital property (28 Malpass Road) with an adjusted cost base of $130000 for proceeds of disposition of $370000. In 2019, he receives $80,000 in cash, along with the purchaser's note for the balance of the proceeds. The note is to be repaid in full ($290000) in five years. Assume that Geoffrey deducts the maximum capital gains reserve.
5. In October, 2018, Geoffrey sold a different capital property (17 Greenview Ave) with an adjusted cost base of $115000 for proceeds of disposition of $210000. In 2018, he received $75,000 in cash, along with the purchaser's note for the balance of the proceeds. The note is to be repaid at the rate of $2,500 per year beginning in 2019. He receives the 2019 payment of $2,500 in full. Assume that Geoffrey deducts the maximum capital gains reserve in both 2018 and 2019.
6. Geoffrey purchased his first home in London, Ontario in 2008 at a cost of $75000. In 2012, he also purchased a cottage in Muskoka for $100000. In November, 2019, both properties are sold, the house for $207000 and the cottage for $172000. Both of these properties can qualify as a principal residence for him. He will designate the principal residence exemption in such a way that will minimize the taxable capital gains that he must report on the sale of these two properties.
7. Geoffrey owned a personal sailboat with an adjusted cost base of $35000. He sold it for $70000 in October 2019.
8. Geoffrey personally owned an oil painting that he purchased many years ago for $350. He sold it for $8000 in June 2019.
9. Geoffrey kept a bench on the front porch of his home which cost him $1700 several years ago. He sold it for $200 in January 2019.
