$17,450

Step-by-step explanation:

The antique painting that was bought in January 1996 was sold for $21,000

It was sold for 4,200 in January 2021

It received a net auction fee of 650

Therefore the allowable loss can be calculated as follows

= 21,000-4200+650

= 17,450

Hence the allowable loss is $17,450
