Answer: 30.1%

Explanation:

The unemployment rate includes those who do not have employment but are actively looking for employment not those who do not have a job and are not looking.

The rate is also based on the Labor force which is the portion of the population that is <u>able</u> and <u>willing</u> to work. Retirees are not included in this measure. Those who are not looking are not willing.

Labor Force = 50 full-time + 15 part-time + 28 unemployed

= 93 people

Unemployment rate:

= 28 / 93 * 100

= 30.1%

Net favorable temporary difference $30,000

We assume the tax rate is of 34%

So, the deferred tax expense is

= $30,000 × 34%

= $10,200

By finding out the net favorable temporary difference and then multiplied with the tax rate we can get the deferred tax expense and the same is shown above
