Answer: $ 45,650

Explanation:

Net Operating Income = Operating income - Operating Expenses

= $425,000 - $280,000

= $145,000

Net capital gain = Long-term capital gain - short-term capital loss

= $25,000 - $10,000

= $15,000

Taxable Income = Net Operating Income + Net capital gain

= $145,000 + $15,000

= $160,000

Total Tax Liability = Tax on $100,000 - Tax on ($16,000-$100,000) @ 39%

= $ 22,250 + $23,400

= $ 45,650
