Answer:

$41,550

Explanation:

The adjusted basis is the value given to an asset (and used by the IRS) when you have to determine any capital gain or loss resulting from its sale. It should generally be the original cost of purchasing that asset.

John's basis = (1,200 shares x $34 per share) + $750 in sales commission

John's basis = $40,800 + $750 = $41,550
