John has a capital loss brought forward of £2500. He has taxable income for the year of £25000.
He sold an asset during the tax year for £21000 (not residential property). He had been left the asset when his grandfather died.
His grandfather had paid £6000 for the asset, and it was valued at £9500 at the time of the death.
1) The gain of the asset is:
2) The amount of loss that will be relieved is:
3) The capital gains tax payable is:
4) The loss to be carried forward to the next year is:
The answer:
1) 11500
2) 400
3) 0
4) 2100
but I dont understand how the figures where calculated. Would appreciate any help.

Loss memo:

Note: Only use £400 of b/fwd capital loss so we do not waste any of the annual exempt amount.1 -
