Answer:

$95,283.09

Explanation:

The computation of the long term capital loss recognized for the year 2020 is shown below:

As we know that

Present value = Future value ÷ (1 + interest rate)^number of years

Present value = $105,000 ÷ (1 + 0.05)^2

= $95,283.09

hence, the long term capital loss recognized is $95,283.09

We simply applied the above formula
