1).        A corporation has income of $80,000 from operations, a $12,000 short-term capital gain, and a $16,000 long-term capital loss. What is the corporation’s taxable income for the year?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Short term capital gains of a corporation can be set off from long term capital losses of the business. But long term capital losses of the business can only be used for set off of long term and short term gains only. Other income can not be set off from long term capital losses.
