Group of answer choices
$5,000
$0
$20,000
$15,000
Answer:
Option B is correct.
2014 = loss 20000
2015 = loss 5000
2016 = gain 10000 (in this year 10000 loss of year 2014 is adjusted) so total income =0
2017 = gain 25000 (in this year 5000 loss of 2015 will be adjusted) so
ordinary income = 25000 - 5000
=20000
Note remaing loss of 10k will not be carry forward after 2016.
Hope this meets your purpose.
