Answer:
lower; higher.
Explanation:
Taxation can be defined as the involuntary or compulsory fees levied on individuals or business entities by the government to generate revenues used for funding public institutions and activities.
The different types of tax include the following;
1. Income tax: a tax on the money made by workers in the state. This type of tax is paid by employees with respect to the amount of money they receive as their wages or salary.
2. Property tax: a tax based on the value of a person's home or business. It is mainly taxed on physical assets or properties such as land, building, cars, business, etc.
3. Sales tax: a tax that is a percent of the price of goods sold in retail stores. It is being paid by the consumers (buyers) of finished goods and services and then, transfered to the appropriate authorities by the seller.
Generally, installment sales are permitted or allowed by the tax laws in a country. Typically, they are recognized in the year of sale for the purpose of financial reporting. Also, installment sales for any goods or services are to be reported in the tax return, at a later time when cash is received from the customer (buyer).
This results in a deferred tax liability because taxable income is lower than financial income in the year of sale, and higher than financial income in later years when collected.
Answer: Option C - Assets are Overstated; No effects on liabilities: Equity is Overstated
Explanation:
When Bad debts are recorded, they will reduce the Accounts Receivable account because less money will be expected from debtors. Accounts Receivable is an asset account so it will be Overstated if bad debts are not recorded.
Equity will also be overstated because bad debts is an expense that is sent to the Income statement. If this expense is not deducted, the net income will be larger than it should be and when added to Equity it will overstate it.

Being entries to recognize insurance expense for the period (August to December).
Explanation:
Given;
Insurance policy was purchased on July 10 to run for 3 years.
Cost of policy = $72,000
Start date is August 1st. As at 31 December, the policy should have been amortized for 5 months (August to December)
Monthly depreciation = $72,000/(3 × 12)
= $2,000
Total amortization between August and December = 5 × $2,000
= $10,000
Journal entries
Debit Insurance expense $10,000
Credit Prepaid Insurance $10,000
Being entries to recognize insurance expense for the period (August to December).
Answer:
Explanation:
a)
The YTM of the bond at par value is equals to its coupon rate, 8.75%. Other things being equal, this 4% coupon rate bond will be more eye-catching as the coupon rate is lower than the current market yields, and its price is far below the call price. So, if yields drop, capital gains on the bond will not be restricted by the call price.
b)
If an investor foresees that yields will fall considerably, the 4% bond proposes a better expected return.
c)
Implicit call protection is offered in the sense that any likely fall in yields would not be nearly enough to make the firm consider calling the bond. In this sense, the call feature is almost irrelevant
