Janet's taxable result comes from the net realized capital gain, not from the total market value redeemed. The ABC Canadian equity fund has a $15,000 gain, the Delta U.S. equity fund has a $5,000 loss, the DEF international equity fund has a $5,000 gain, and the DEF bond fund has a $5,000 gain. Net capital gains are therefore $20,000 after offsetting the Delta loss. Only one-half of the net capital gain is taxable under the standard capital gains inclusion treatment used in AFP-level calculations, producing a $10,000 taxable capital gain. At a 45% marginal tax rate, the tax payable is $4,500. Option A taxes the full net gain; option C and option D reflect incorrect inclusion or arithmetic assumptions. The purpose of the question is to test disposition analysis in a non-registered account and the sequence of gain/loss netting before applying the marginal rate. Study Guide focus: adjusted cost base, fair market value, capital gains inclusion, and non-registered tax planning.
