Answer:

Based on this information, Anna has the following suspended losses:

A) Activity B Activity C

$11,667 $18,333

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Income and Loss:

Salary $ 135,000

Income from activity A 60,000

Loss from activity B ( 35,000)

Loss from activity C ( 55,000)

The loss from activity B and activity C are reduced by the income from activity A in proportion.

Thus, the income from activity A reduces the losses in B and C:

Income from activity A $60,000

Activity B loss of $35,000 is reduced by $60,000 * $35,000/$90,000 = $23,333 to $11,667 ($35,000 - $23,333)

Activity C loss of $55,000 is reduced by $60,000 * $55,000/$90,000 = $36,667 to $18,333 ($55,000 - $36,667)

b) Note that the losses from activities B and C cannot be reduced by the salary income because both activities are passive sources of income and not active like salary.
