c) In June 2020, Julie decided to liquidate some assets to fund the purchase of another salon. One was a parcel of shares in ATC Ltd which she had bought in 2019 for $40,000 hoping to make a profit in the short term. She sold them for $100,000. The other was a block of land which she had bought in 2016, intending to build a new salon on it an idea that she has now rejected because another salon has just opened in the area. What effect, if any, will these transactions have on her taxable income? Why?
