Answer: Option A (Ordinary Loss = $50,000, Capital Loss = $50,000)

Explanation: As per Sec 1244, the amount of ordinary loss shall not exceed $50,000 for any taxable year. This limit is $100,000 in case of a husband and wife filing a joint return.

Total loss in given case = $600,000 - $450,000 = $150,000

Share of Jon in the loss = $150,000 * 2 / 3 = $100,000

Ordinary Loss (maximum as per Sec 1244) = $50,000

Capital Loss = $100,000 - $50,000 = $50,000
