    The realized gain that Whiteside should report on sale of stock should be $33,000.

    Explanation:

    Whiteside bought the 60,000 shares from Roush organic foods at a price of $945,000 in 2016. On December 3, 2017 whiteside sold those 60,000 shares at $17 per share, with this they have also paid $42,000 in brokerage commissions. For taking out the gain we will subtract the purchase price of shares from selling price of share.

    NOTE * (We will subtract the brokerage commission from the sales.)

    Realized gain = (Sales - brokerage commission) - purchase price

    NOTE * (SALES = $17 X 60,000 = $1020,000)

    = ($1020,000 - $42,000) - $945,000

    = $978,000 - $945,000

    = $33,000
