    The answer is C.

    Explanation:

    The $40,000 net operating loss carry-forward is the amount of loss in year 1 which may be carried forward to future years to offset the tax due in those years. The value of the carry-forward is the net operating loss multiplied by the tax rate for the year in which the carry-forward is expected to be realized. Therefore, the maximum income tax benefit that Brass can realize from the carry-forward in year 2 is $12,000 ($40,000 x 30%).
