Orange's Corporation's taxable income:
Income from Operation-$29,000
Gain on investment stock-$8000
Short term loss on Equipment-($4000)
Total ordinary income - $33000
Capital gain on sale of land-$4000
Capital loss on sale of Machinery-($6000)
Net long term capital loss carried forward to next period-($2000)
Taxable income - $33,000
Long term capital loss can be set off against capital gains only, thus the remaining loss of $2000 will be carried forward to subsequent period and will not be setoff against ordinary taxable income.
