Explanation:

The the tax loss of the of parent company X needs to be adjusted for inter-company dividends of $10000.By eliminating the dividends,the loss becomes $130,000.

On other hand,the profit of company Y needs to be adjusted as well for 70% dividends-received deduction,by eliminating 70% of $30000 dividends received, which amounts to $21000.

By deducting the $21000 from $140000 taxable income,taxable income drops to $119000.

On aggregation, the adjusted tax loss of parent and adjusted taxable income of subsidiary gives $11000 tax loss.
