I think the tax charge is based on the adjusted profit after considering the disallowable expenses, but I’m a bit confused about how to handle the depreciation differences.

This question feels similar to the practice one we did on tax adjustments, where we had to exclude non-taxable income. I hope I remember the calculations correctly!

I think we need to add back the entertaining costs and adjust for the different depreciation amounts, but I can't recall the exact steps.

This is straightforward enough. I'll just need to make the necessary adjustments to the accounting profit, apply the 25% tax rate, and I should have the right answer.

Okay, I think I've got this. I'll start by adding back the entertaining costs and subtracting the exempt income from the accounting profit. Then I'll adjust for the difference between accounting and tax depreciation. Should be a fairly simple calculation from there.

I'm a bit confused here. Does Marcela need to be able to create journals as well? Or is it just approving and posting that she can do? I want to make sure I select the right combination of roles.

I think the trade-off between transportation costs and inventory carrying costs seems critical, but I'm not entirely sure. We talked about this in class, how too much inventory can tie up cash.

Okay, so we have to adjust the accounting profit by adding back the disallowed entertaining costs and subtracting the exempt income. Then, we need to use the tax depreciation instead of the accounting depreciation. Let me work this out.
