Option C,17% is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The tax on his investment is  15% of his long-term gains on investment since his total taxable income is  $77,000 ($75,000+$2,000).

tax on investment gain=15%*$2000=$300

after tax gain on investment =$2000-$300=$1700

The return on investment of $10,000=after tax gain on investment/cost of investment

after tax gain is $1700

cost of investment is $10,000

return on investment=$1,700/$10,000=17%

The correct option is C,17% return on investment of $10,000
