You have gathered the following additional information:

1. Depreciation for tax purposes is $128,000.

2. Of the $18,000 interest expense, $2,000 is allocable to a loan used to purchase the municipal bonds.

Gain . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .                    $9,000

Omega obtains a $30,000 installment note receivable this year and will receive the $30,000 sales proceeds next year. For book purposes, Omega recognizes the $9,000 gain in the current year.

Short-term capital gain . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3,000

Omega had no capital gains in prior years, so it cannot carry the net capital losses back.

8. Omega has a $15,000 net operating loss carryover from last year, which it then expected to use in the next year (now the current year).
