Answer: $315,000 deferred tax asset
Explanation:
The amount that Dwyer should record as a net deferred tax asset or liability for the year ended December 31, 2007 will be calculated thus:
= ($2400000 – $1500000) × 35%
= $900000 × 35%
= $900000 × 35/100
= $900000 × 0.35
= $315000.
Therefore, the answer is $315,000 deferred tax asset
Note:
I wasn't able to access the Chester Income Statement but I successfully accessed a similar question Digby.
The Complete Question is as under:
Refer to the HR Reports in the Inquirer. Through past investments in recruiting and training Digby has obtained a productivity index of 109.6%. This means that Digby's labor costs would be increased by 9.6% if it did not have these productivity improvements. This is a competitive advantage that Digby can sustain or even widen further if its competitors have no HR initiatives. Now, refer to the Income Statement in Digby's Annual Report. How much did Digby's productivity improvements save it in direct labor costs (in thousands) last year?
A. $766
B. $29818
C. $3137
D. $3211
Answer:
Option D. $3,137
Explanation:
The Productivity Index of 9.6% shows that if the improvement plan is implemented then the efficiency gains would result in saving of 9.6% of total direct cost. So if we total the direct cost for the year for all of the four products then we have an amount of $32,680 which is given at the second last column.
The amount saved last year would be:
Savings = $32,680 * 9.6% = $3,137
Hence the option C is correct here.

Answer:
NPV = $20,040.35
Explanation
The net present value NPV) of a project is the present value of cash inflow less the present value of cash outflow of the project.
NPV = PV of cash inflow - PV of cash outflow
We can set out the cash flows of the project using the table below:
Annual net cash inflow = Savings - Technician cost = 61,427- 20,000
= $41,427
PV of Cash flow= $41,427 × (1-(1.12^(-5))/0.12= 149,335.06
PV of salvage value = 1.12^(-5)×$6,641 = 3768.281749
NPV = 149,335.06 + 3,768.281 -133,063= 20,040.35
