The report indicates that on January 31, 2018, the fair market value (FMV) stood at 1166.60. The analysis involves comparing the FMV with the sale price, opting for the lower of the two. 

This resulting value is then contrasted with the purchase price. In this instance, the FMV is lower than the sale price, prompting comparison with the purchase price. 

Since the FMV surpasses the purchase price, the acquisition cost is deemed to be 1166.60. Subsequently, capital gains are computed based on this figure.
