Answer:

The correct answer is A. $32,000.

Explanation:

Corporation's net operating profit/loss is calculated by subtracting all expenses incurred from all income/revenue earned during the period. However, income tax expense is not dedcuted to calculate net operating income.

net operating loss = income from operations- operating expenses + dividend income

net operating loss = 100,000 -150,000 + (90,000 + 20%)

                              = ($ 32,000)
