    Ms. Fresh loss will be $800 and Basis in new shares is $3,950

    Explanation:

    Her Loss on sale of stock would be computed as:

    Loss = Sale Value - Purchase price

    = $4,800 - $5,600

    = ($800)

    As she repurchased the IBIS stock within the expiry of 30 days, she is not allowed to deduct the LTCL (Long Term Capital Gain) from gain. So, LTCL will be $0.

    The basis in new shares is computed as:

    Basis = Previous loss + Price paid

    = $800 + $3,150

    = $3,950
