Part a

Angelini Corporation operates in an industry for which net operating loss (NOL) carrybacks are allowed. In its first two years of operations Angelini reported the following operating income (loss) amounts:

2019	$	1,500,000
2020		(2,100,000	)

Angelini has no book vs. tax differences in either year. The enacted income tax rate is 40% for all years. Angelini believes its financial losses in 2020 were attributable to the Coronavirus pandemic and that the company will return to profitability in 2021 and beyond.
