Note that there may be more than one correct answer. Check all that apply.

Question 4 options:

I) In 2012, Company B as $80 million in cumulative temporary differences related to installment sales not yet recognized for tax purposes. The current statutory rate is (and has been for some time) 35%. Congress enacts a rate change effective in 2013 which increases Company A's effective tax rate to 40% for the foreseeable future.

II) Company A reports a net loss of $150 million in 2010. The company elects to carry back $40 million to minimize the tax burden for two prior years' positive earnings. The remaining $110 million will be carried forward to offset future earnings.

III) Company D reports pretax income of $110 million in 2013. That income includes depreciation expense for equipment purchased in 2012. The company uses straight-line depreciation for financial accounting purposes and MACRS for tax reporting purposes. Total depreciation under MACRS is greater than under the straight line method in 2013.

IV) Company C reports pretax income of $50 million, which includes $5 million in municipal bond revenue.
