Answer: D - Gain of $2,300

Explanation: Abby bought the land for $14,500 several years ago.

She sold the land for $18,000 less commission paid to the agent at $1200.

Abby from the above statement made a gain and its calculated thus:

Sale of land =$18,000

Less:

Cost of the land =$14,500

Commission = $1,200

Gain = $18,000-$14,500-$1,200= $2,300
