Aruna, a sole proprietor, wants to sell two assets that she no longer needs for her business. Both assets qualify as 1231 assets. The first is machinery and will generate a $10,000 1231 loss on the sale. The second is land that will generate a $7,000 1231 gain on the sale. Aruna's ordinary marginal tax rate is 32 percent.

Question: Assuming that Aruna sells the land in December of year 1 and the machinery in January of year 2, what effect will the sales have on Aruna's tax liability for each year?
