发完我就整明白了。 答案：
Step 1 Tax loss (ignoring exempt income) is $543 ($1,300 franked dividend + $557 gross-up – $2,400 deductions)
Step 2 Divide the amount of the excess franking offset by the corporate tax rate
The excess franking offset under s. 36-55(1) is
$557 ($1,300 × 30% ÷ 70%)
$557 ÷ 30% = $1,857
（这步我原来没弄明白。s36-55，在有tax loss的情况下，可以把franking credit转成tax loss，书本621页）
Step 3 Add the results of Steps 1 and 2
$543 + $1857 = $2,400
Step 4 Reduce the result of Step 3 by the company’s net exempt income for the year. This amount is Embargo’s tax loss for the year:
$2,400 – $240 = $2,160
Therefore, Embargo Ltd is taken to have incurred a $2,160 tax loss for the year ended 30 June 2016.
