Answer:

Marc's current income from this investment is $0, and his capital gains were $195.

Explanation:

Marc's basis for this investment = (100 shares x $25 per share) + $50 = $2,500 + $50 = $2,550

Two years later when Marc sold his investment, he received = (100 shares x $28 per share) - $55 = $2,800 - $55 = $2,745

Marc's capital gain = $2,745 - $2,550 = $195

Marc's current income from this transaction = $0, this transaction is not considered current income.
