    The computations are shown below:

    a. Adjusted gross income

    = Salary + interest income + dividend income - deduction for capital loss

    = $53,300 + $1,600 + $400 - $3,000

    = $52,300

    The capital loss deduction is up to $3,000 only

    b. The standard deduction in the case of single is $6,300

    c. The personal exemption in the year 2016 is $4,050

    = $52,300 - $6,300 - $4,050

    = $41,950
