a. True
b. False

Answer 1

B). FALSE

Explanation: A loss is an amount of money lost by a business or oganization. Losses in investment happen often and can be deductible from gains earned depending on the amount of gain.

An equal amount of loss and gain can be used to offset each other. However, if your losses exceed your gain, your losses can not be fully deductible.
