    1,000 long-term capital loss

    new shares basis $7,000

    Explanation:

    The sales realize a long term loss for 1,000 dollar

    It is long term as the shares were held for a period of time over 2 years

    and is a loss as these shares were bought at 10,000 while sold at 9,000

    The new share basis will be of 7,000 as it is the value ofthe new purchase.

    Given:

    Number of shares = 1000 shares

    Cost price = $10000

    Selling price = $9000

    In 2020,

    Number of shares = 1000 shares

    Cost price = $7000

    Loss in dollars = cost price - selling price

    = $10000 - $9000

    = $1000

    B.

    Cost basis = (recent purchase of shares) / number of shares

    = ($7000) / 1000

    = $7 per shares
