Answer:

The correct option is B,15% tax rate with $375 in taxes owed

Step-by-step explanation:

Mary has a taxable income of $40,000 which implies that Mary falls into tax bracket of capital gains tax of 15% for taxable income between $38,601 and $425,800.

The amount capital gains tax payable is however the capital gains itself multiplied by the percentage applicable of 15% not the entire taxable income since that consisted of other income from other sources aside from capital gains

capital gains tax=$2500*15%=$375
