SCC won't pay any tax

Explanation:

Their loss of $30,000 in year 1 will be unused and made available to counterbalance the total generated earnings in year 2.

The $20,000 earnings in year 2 can be used to counterbalance the whole taxable income; so, SCC will not pay pay tax. SCC will have a ($10,000) loss carryover available for year 3 and beyond
