LO.3, 11 Jorge owns two passive investments, Activity A and Activity B. He plans to dispose of Activity A in the current year or next year. Juanita  has
offered to buy Activity A this year for an amount that would produce a taxable pas- sive gain to Jorge of $115,000. However, if the sale, for whatever reason, is not made to Juanita, Jorge believes that he could find a buyer who would pay about
$7,000 less than Juanita. Passive losses and gains generated (and expected to be generated) by Activity B follow:

All of Activity B’s losses are suspended. Should Jorge close the sale of Activity A with Juanita this year, or should he wait until next year and sell to another buyer? Jorge is in the 28% tax bracket.
