Question:can i have answer this question?

Ed's grandmother died on 1 November 2005 and, in her will, left Ed cash and jewellery worth $500,000. The jewellery had been bought by Ed's grandmother in August 1985 at a cost of $40,000, and its market value on 1 November 2005 was $150,000.

Ed used the money from his grandmother and his savings to buy the following assets in January 2006:

(a) an apartment in Melbourne (cost was $360,000 plus $20,000 legal fees and stamp duty),

(b) a rare painting (cost was $50,000), and

(c) 2,000 bank shares (cost was $20 per share, plus $200 brokerage).

In 2015/16, Ed disposed of these assets as follows:

(1) on 12 March 2016, he sold the apartment for $470,000 - he had lived in it all the time he owned it,

(2) on 1 April 2016, the painting was stolen from his apartment - he received $30,000 compensation from his insurance company,

(3) on 13 May 2016, Ed sold 1000 bank shares for $30 per share (brokerage cost $150), and

(4) on 15 June 2016, he lost the jewellery, which wasn't insured, when he left his briefcase on a train.

Prepare a report advising Ed, that explains the CGT consequences of these transactions.
