    d.$90,000

    Explanation:

    given data

    shares of stock = 5,000

    stock was = $180,000

    four years ago cost = $120,000

    AGI = $300,000

    solution

    we know that as per capital gain property in general rule Pat deduct will be as

    deduct = 30% of AGI ... 1

    deduct = 30% of $300,000

    current deduct = $90,000

    and

    remaining will be as

    remaining = fair market value - current deduction ... 2

    remaining = $180,000 - $90,000

    remaining = $90,000

    so remaining amount carry over up to 5 years

    so correct option is d.$90,000
