Hmm, I wonder if the repairs should be included in the cost basis. Better review the tax rules on that.

Looks like a straightforward capital gains calculation. I'd double-check the dates and amounts, but the answer seems right.

From what I remember, the selling price minus the total costs gives us the gain, but I need to double-check how to handle the legal fees and additional costs correctly.

I believe the additional costs incurred in May should be added to the asset's cost, but I'm a bit confused about how to treat the repairs from June.

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to determine the chargeable gain, but I can't recall if we included the selling costs in the final calculation.

I remember we discussed how to calculate the initial cost of the asset, including legal fees, but I'm not sure if I should include the repairs in the calculation.

The timing of the different costs is going to be important here. I'll need to make sure I'm applying the right treatment for each item in the correct accounting period.

Okay, I think I've got a plan. I'll calculate the total cost basis, including the purchase price, legal fees, and additional capital expenditures. Then I'll subtract that from the sale price and deduct the selling costs to get the chargeable gain.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how to handle the different types of expenditures and when they occurred. I'll need to review the rules on capital vs. revenue expenditures.

This looks like a straightforward capital gains calculation, but I'll need to be careful to account for all the different costs and dates.
