Answer:
Option (c) is correct.
Explanation:
Given that,
For the current year,
Wages = $80,000
Long-term capital gain = $9,000
Short-term capital loss = $12,000
Loss on sale of camper (purchased 4 years ago and used for family vacations) = $2,000
David's AGI for the current year:
= Wages - Short-term capital loss + Long-term capital gain
= $80,000 - $12,000 + $9,000
= $77,000
