    Their answer is correct assuming 31,325 is their answer and your answer is 30,525. The explanation is also correct and the working is correct. What did you think was wrong? How did you get to your answer?

    Just a thought, did you misread the proceeds as £81,000 rather than £81,800?

    Thanks coojee

    Here is my workings

    1200 shares at £48,000 (Matched to shares purchased in 30 days after 12th March)

    450 shares at £2475

    This is made up from the pool

    5600 -£11,200
    800 -£24,000

    6400 - £35,200

    £35,200 / 6400 * 450 = £2475



    £81,000 - £48,000 - £2475 = gain £30525

    appreciate your help everyone seems to have legged it from here
