AGI is $ 75,000 + $ 28,000 = AGI $ 103,000

Calculation of Net Capital Gain for each year

Year             Gain                     Losses                   Net Capital Gain / Losses( Gain - Losses)

2010          $ 9600                $ 6500                      ( $ 9600 - 6500 ) = $ 3,100 Gain

2011          $ 21,000             $ 25,500                    ( $ 21,000 - $ 25,500 ) = - $ 4,500 Losses

2012          $ 18,000             $ 26,300                   ( $ 18,000 - $ 26,300 ) = - $ 8,300 Losses

2013          $ 9,700              $ 4,400                     ( $ 9,700 - $ 4,400 ) = $ 5,300 Gain

2014          $ 25,700           $ 13,900                     ( $ 25,700 - $ 13,900 ) = $ 11,800 Gain

2015          $ 15,000           $ 21,300                     ( $ 15,000 - $ 21,000 ) = $ 6,000 Losses
