Helen holds 1,000 shares of Fizbo Inc. stock that she purchased 11 months ago. The stock has done very well and has appreciated $20/share since Helen bought the stock. When sold, the stock will be taxed at capital gains rates (the long-term rate is 15 percent and the short-term rate is the taxpayer’s marginal tax rate). Ignore the time value of money. If Helen’s marginal tax rate is 35 percent, how much would she save by holding the stock an additional month before selling?

Answer:if shares are hold for more than a month then tax that can be saved is $4000Step-by-step explanation:Given Data:Per share increase in price = $20 Number  of shares = 1000 Long term tax rate 15%short term rate 35%Total capital gain = 1000 ×20 = 20000 Tax rate when hold  for one year extra = 20000 × 15% = 3000 Tax rate for short term, capital gain  20000 × 35% = 7000 So if shares are hold for more than a month then tax that can be saved is=  (7000 - 3000) = 4000
