Explanation / Answer

Total Loss upto 2013 = $2,200,000 + $2,000,000 + $1,000,000 = $5,200,000
Loss adjust in 2014 = $1,200,000
Remaining loss in 2014 = $5,200,000 - $1,200,000 = $4,000,000

Income after adjusting the loss in 2015 = $7,000,000 - $4,000,000 = $3,000,000

Uniontown's tax liability for 2015 = $3,000,000 x 34% = $1,020,000
