  • Capital gain tax on shares

I don't know in advance what the share price will be but it is likely to be a price C > B > A. When I get to finally sell the shares, how will the capital gain tax be calculated? Which buying price will be used? Can you also let me know if your answer changes in the price studently falls and C
