Elijah Giles · Answer 1

The tax consequences of Ronnie's stock mutual fund ownership if he is in a 24 % marginal tax bracket is that the tax liability for more than one year holding would be $310.65

Explanation:

According to given data we have the following:

long-term capital gain=46*19=$874

Dividend=63*19=$1,197

Tax bracket=24%

The tax rate for the long-term capital gain is 15% for taxpayer having 24% and above tax bracket

Therefore, to calculate the tax liability for more than one year holding we would have to make the following calculation:

tax liability for more than one year holding = (long-term capital gain+dividend) * 15%

tax liability for more than one year holding = ($874+$1,197) * 15%

tax liability for more than one year holding=$310.65
