Course Final Project Paper
The Evil Corp. Unlimited (ECU) network has been experiencing exponential growth over the last
year and has also seen a tremendous amount of turnover in its networking staff. One network
engineer was even caught practicing for his CCIE lab exam in the ECU production network
environment and is one reason why the environment looks (and is configured) as you see above.
ECU is seeking help and your company has been given the opportunity to respond to the ECU
Request for Proposals (RFP). Your RFP, which should not contain a single CLI command,
should contain your company’s proposal/solution for how ECU is going to accomplish routing in
their current enterprise network environment given the topology you see below:
In addition to addressing their current challenges, your proposal should outline any steps that you
would recommend ECU take to improve their overall network architecture. Your RFP should
address how ECU will:
1. Implement routing security throughout the network where appropriate
2. Implement redistribution where required for a fully functional network
3. Implement eBGP connections to the two (2) Internet Service Providers (ISPs) along with
all policy required for redundancy
4. Implement iBGP internally in the ECU network where indicated to include all facets of
an iBGP deployment
5. Implement a solution so that ECU’s network does not become a transit network for ISP
traffic
6. Address why all of R10’s routes are not showing up in the network and why R10 sees no
routes from the rest of the environment
7. Address any other routing recommendations to ensure optimal network operation and
convergence
8. Discuss any future improvements that you would recommend to ECU for their
environment
At a minimum your proposal needs to meet the following criteria:
• A title page
• A "running head"
• An abstract (150 words or less)
• A table of contents
• A reference section
• Remember to use double-spacing (including references), a 1" margin on all sides, and the
Times New Roman 12-point font
• The title page, abstract, references, and all tables and figures/network diagrams should be
on their own individual pages and the length of your paper should be between 7-10 pages
inclusive of the title page, abstract, references, and all tables.
• Carefully write your proposal so paragraphs naturally flow from one to the other
• Remember that your paper is being evaluated based on:
o How well you use the course literature in designing and carrying out your
proposal
o The logic, justification for, and structure of your proposal
o How realistic what you propose is (could it actually be implemented)
o How creative your solution is given the topology
o The likelihood that your proposal would really have an impact/resolve their issues
o Ways in which you will insure the proposal will be carried out as planned
o Your ability to evaluate the effectiveness of ...
Question
Frank is the receiving dock supervisor for Cabinet Co., a company that manufactures metal storage cabinets. His job is to supervise the inspection, and stocking of components and materials used in the manufacture of the cabinets as they are delivered; and to so notify the accounting department so invoices can be timely paid. On June 1, the company received a shipment of casters used in the manufacture of rolling cabinets. This new shipment would not be needed for three weeks as there were plenty of casters located on the assembly line. The storage facilities where the casters would normally be placed were under renovation, and there would be no space to store this latest shipment of casters until June 20. Frank decided to leave the unopened boxes of casters in a secure and covered corner of the receiving dock. He did, however, notify the accounting department that the casters had been received. The accounting department paid the $8,000.00 invoice in time to earn the discount if paid within ten days.
On June 20 Frank had his workers open the boxes of casters to inspect then and place them in the appropriate space in the storage facility. Upon inspection it was determined that nearly all of the casters were defective and unusable. This caused the company to default on several contracts for rolling cabinets as it ran out of casters before it could secure replacements for the defective ones. Cabinet Co. was able to replace the casters at a 15% increase in cost.

Option 1 ImperialismThe exploitation of colonial resources.docxmccormicknadine86
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
Link (website):
White Man's Burden (Links to an external site.)
(Rudyard Kipling)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own:
Belgium & Africa
Britain & India
Germany & Africa
France & Africa
Apply social Darwinism to this specific case.
Analyze the motivations of the invading country?
How did ethnocentrism manifest in their interactions?
How does Kipling's poem apply to your specific example? You can quote lines for comparison.

Assignment 3: How Can We Stop Bullying / Cyberbullying Now?
Due Week 10 and worth 260 points
Per the text and assigned course readings, bullying in general and cyberbullying in particular are
ongoing issues which many students today experience, often with tragic consequences. As an
educator, one important job you will have is to develop safeguards against bullying in your
classroom.
Imagine that you are asked to give a presentation at a conference on a K-12 public school teacher who
is preparing to cover the topic of bullying and cyberbullying in your class. To prepare for the
presentation, you first have to do some research on your topic.
Write a five to seven (5-7) page paper in which you:
1. Define the terms “bullying” and “cyberbullying”, and specify the main difference(s) between
these two terms.
2. Design a lesson which addresses both bullying in general and cyberbullying specifically,
focusing on the following elements:
a. Learning objectives of the lesson
b. Measurement method(s) use to determine student learning and lesson effectiveness
c. Description of lesson type (i.e. lecture, interactive, peer learning activity, etc.)
d. Materials needed for the lesson
e. Costs and funding for the lesson
3. Use at least four (4) peer-reviewed academic resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and
many Websites do not qualify as academic resources. Peer-reviewed academic resources refer
to articles and scholarly journals that are reviewed by a panel of experts or peers in the field.

Option 1 ImperialismThe exploitation of colonial resources.docxmccormicknadine86
Option 1: Imperialism
The exploitation of colonial resources and indigenous labor was one of the key elements in the success of imperialism. Such exploitation was a result of the prevalent ethnocentrism of the time and was justified by the unscientific concept of social Darwinism, which praised the characteristics of white Europeans and inaccurately ascribed negative characteristics to indigenous peoples. A famous poem of the time by Rudyard Kipling, "White Man's Burden," called on imperial powers, and particularly the U.S., at whom the poem was directed, to take up the mission of civilizing these "savage" peoples.
Read the poem at the following link:
Link (website):
White Man's Burden (Links to an external site.)
(Rudyard Kipling)
After reading the poem, address the following in a case study analysis:
Select a specific part of the world (a country), and examine imperialism in that country. What was the relationship between the invading country and the native people? You can select from these examples or choose your own:
Belgium & Africa
Britain & India
Germany & Africa
France & Africa
Apply social Darwinism to this specific case.
Analyze the motivations of the invading country?
How did ethnocentrism manifest in their interactions?
How does Kipling's poem apply to your specific example? You can quote lines for comparison.

We are all more keenly aware that economic shifts and transformations can happen suddenly and dramatically. As the World shut itself down in March 2020, it makes us all aware that we can change behavior globally and as a matter of will. In the U.S., people began to quarantine themselves ahead of government action more often than as a result of government mandates. Write a cohesive 1-2 page single-spaced document that answers the following questions.
2a. Reflecting on the profound changes we have all seen in the past year, how does that change your views regarding what might be possible with regard to energy use, carbon reductions, or other major transformations that might be needed to impact the type of climate change Earth has been experiencing.
2b. Reflect on the type of transformations that would be involved to address global warming. Now that you have seen the recent major transformations, does this make you believe that global warming threats can prompt the type of major economic and industrial changes needed to reduce the impacts that have been anticipated with increasing climate changes?
2c. What are the "experts" saying about the possibility of these transformations in light of what they have seen during the pandemic?

Revisiting the Stanford Prison Experiment: a Lesson in the Power of Situation
~~~~~~~~
BY THE 1970s, psychologists had done a series of studies establishing the social power of groups. They showed, for example, that groups of strangers could persuade people to believe statements that were obviously false. Psychologists had also found that research participants were often willing to obey authority figures even when doing so violated their personal beliefs. The Yale studies by Stanley Milgram in 1963 demonstrated that a majority of ordinary citizens would continually shock an innocent man, even up to near-lethal levels, if commanded to do so by someone acting as an authority. The "authority" figure in this case was merely a high-school biology teacher who wore a lab coat and acted in an official manner. The majority of people shocked their victims over and over again despite increasingly desperate pleas to stop.
In my own work, I wanted to explore the fictional notion from William Golding's Lord of the Flies about the power of anonymity to unleash violent behavior. In one experiment from 1969, female students who were made to feel anonymous and given permission for aggression became significantly more hostile than students with their identities intact. Those and a host of other social-psychological studies were showing that human nature was more pliable than previously imagined and more responsive to situational pressures than we cared to acknowledge. In sum, these studies challenged the sacrosanct view that inner determinants of behavior--personality traits, morality, and religious upbringing--directed good people down righteous paths.
Missing from the body of social-science research at the time was the direct confrontation of good versus evil, of good people pitted against the forces inherent in bad situations. It was evident from everyday life that smart people made dumb decisions when they were engaged in mindless groupthink, as in the disastrous Bay of Pigs invasion by the smart guys in President John F. Kennedy's cabinet. It was also clear that smart people surrounding President Richard M. Nixon, like Henry A. Kissinger and Robert S. McNamara, escalated the Vietnam War when they knew, and later admitted, it was not winnable. They were .

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

1. CMIT 451
Course Final Project Paper
The Evil Corp. Unlimited (ECU) network has been experiencing
exponential growth over the last
year and has also seen a tremendous amount of turnover in its
networking staff. One network
engineer was even caught practicing for his CCIE lab exam in
the ECU production network
environment and is one reason why the environment looks (and
is configured) as you see above.
ECU is seeking help and your company has been given the
opportunity to respond to the ECU
Request for Proposals (RFP). Your RFP, which should not
contain a single CLI command,
should contain your company’s proposal/solution for how ECU
is going to accomplish routing in
their current enterprise network environment given the topology
you see below:
In addition to addressing their current challenges, your proposal
should outline any steps that you
would recommend ECU take to improve their overall network
2. architecture. Your RFP should
address how ECU will:
1. Implement routing security throughout the network where
appropriate
2. Implement redistribution where required for a fully
functional network
3. Implement eBGP connections to the two (2) Internet Service
Providers (ISPs) along with
all policy required for redundancy
4. Implement iBGP internally in the ECU network where
indicated to include all facets of
an iBGP deployment
5. Implement a solution so that ECU’s network does not become
a transit network for ISP
traffic
6. Address why all of R10’s routes are not showing up in the
network and why R10 sees no
routes from the rest of the environment
7. Address any other routing recommendations to ensure
optimal network operation and
convergence
8. Discuss any future improvements that you would recommend
to ECU for their
environment
At a minimum your proposal needs to meet the following
criteria:
3. • A title page
• A "running head"
• An abstract (150 words or less)
• A table of contents
• A reference section
• Remember to use double-spacing (including references), a 1"
margin on all sides, and the
Times New Roman 12-point font
• The title page, abstract, references, and all tables and
figures/network diagrams should be
on their own individual pages and the length of your paper
should be between 7-10 pages
inclusive of the title page, abstract, references, and all tables.
• Carefully write your proposal so paragraphs naturally flow
from one to the other
• Remember that your paper is being evaluated based on:
o How well you use the course literature in designing and
carrying out your
proposal
o The logic, justification for, and structure of your proposal
o How realistic what you propose is (could it actually be
implemented)
o How creative your solution is given the topology
o The likelihood that your proposal would really have an
impact/resolve their issues
o Ways in which you will insure the proposal will be carried out
as planned
o Your ability to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposal once
implemented
o The references — relevance, quality, and appropriate usage;
4. and,
o Writing quality and overall presentation
o ***There should NOT be a single IOS CLI command in your
paper!***
The rubric for your CMIT-451 Course Final Project Paper can
be seen below:
*Your paper should NOT contain a single configuration
command. This is an RFP where
your focus should be on articulating how your company will
provide a technical solution to
the routing challenges facing ECU given the current network
architecture above. You must
address the issues with the provided environment and you
should close your paper with a set
of “recommended next steps” where you can then outline the
changes you would make to
improve their network topology.

Deferred Taxes at Obadiah Vineyard
Shortly after harvest in October 2004, Luis, Arthur and Scott
Maddox, co-owners of the fledgling
Obadiah Vineyard, toured their vineyard on a day as sunny as
their mood. Not only was the 2004
crop volume everything the three brothers had hoped for, but
the vineyard had also produced fruit of
impressive quality. Their dream of growing Premier Cru quality
wine grapes in the Dundee Hills of
Oregon was well on its way to becoming reality.1
To date, the Maddox brothers had planted and trellised about a
third of their land. With the
vineyard just beginning to take off, Arthur wondered aloud
whether this was the right time to plant
additional acreage. All three brothers acknowledged that more
planting at this point required outside
funding.
As the brothers discussed their options, Luis suggested that he
informally show the vineyard’s tax
returns to their local community bank and some investor friends
to get an idea of how difficult it
7. would be to raise the needed funds. Scott commented, “The tax
returns show a distorted and, frankly,
bleak picture of the vineyard’s financial situation. For my own
use, I’ve already prepared projected
financial statements using generally accepted accounting
principles (GAAP) for our existing planting.
Let’s show potential investors these GAAP projections—
updated for the new planting—instead.
GAAP presents a more accurate picture of the vineyard’s
financial position than tax returns because
it includes the deferred tax assets and liabilities.” Luis
responded, “Who cares? The cash flows are the
same regardless of accounting method. Plus, deferred taxes will
make the financial statements harder
to understand.” Arthur compromised, “Scott, you can prepare
the prospective financials if you like,
but you’ll have to explain them to us before we can use them.”
Oregon Wine Industry
The Oregon wine industry had grown rapidly over the last
several years. The industry had grown
to over 300 licensed wineries, and winery sales had nearly
doubled in the last ten years. Grape
acreage had also doubled in the last decade, and grape value
nearly quadrupled.2 Based on the
1 Premier Cru (abbreviated “1er Cru”) designated certain
vineyards in the Burgundy region of France capable of
producing
distinctly superior wine. The only higher Burgundy
designation was Grand Cru (literally “great growth” in French),
which
included 34 particularly favored vineyards that produced wine a
decided notch above Premier Cru. Jancis Robinson, The

prevailing selling prices and farming costs for Pinot Noir in the

Sales price per ton, Pinot Noir $ 3,200

History of Obadiah Vineyard
9. The opportunity to launch Obadiah Vineyard came in 2000. An
undeveloped but promising
property was offered for sale: the 38-acre plot had been an
established vineyard in the past before the
current owner had razed the vineyard for horse land, and it
bordered one of the most desirable
vineyards in the Willamette Valley. In late 2000, the Maddox
brothers organized as Obadiah
Vineyard LLC and purchased the land for $400,000. They
financed the purchase with a small business
loan of $400,000 secured by the property, including the to-be-
planted grapevines.4
Arthur Maddox, the head winemaker at local Leoren Winery,
agreed to oversee the vineyard
operations, which primarily involved instructing the vineyard
laborers in the care of the vineyard.5
This arrangement allowed him to better manage the quality of
his wine at Leoren by giving him
control of the entire process, from the farming to the
winemaking to the eventual bottling.6 In
addition, Arthur committed Leoren to purchase all of Obadiah
Vineyard’s eventual crop. Luis
Maddox, a software engineer in the Silicon Valley, and Scott
Maddox, a certified public accountant in
the Portland, Oregon area, agreed to contribute the initial funds
needed for planting, farming costs
and working capital until the vineyard could produce enough of
a crop (and thus profit) to fund
itself.
The brothers chose to plant an initial 5 acres of Pinot Noir pre-
grafted onto disease-resistant
rootstock. In touring the property to select the site for this
planting, Arthur made a pleasant
10. discovery: some of the existing rootstock from the prior
vineyard still lived and could be salvaged.
All told, the brothers recovered 7.9 acres of 25-year-old Pinot
Noir vines. The maturity of the
rootstock meant grapes of much more intensity, depth and
character. Further, Arthur hoped that the
recovered vines would bear a full crop sooner than the typical
six years for new vines to come into
full production.7 Consistent with their mission to grow Premier
Cru quality grapes in Oregon, the
brothers set a goal of yielding 2.5 tons of fruit per acre. The
brothers decided that, like other growers

5 Typically, a team of vineyard laborers served several smaller
vineyards such as Obadiah.
6 Although winemakers had some say in the viticultural
practices affecting the grapes they had contracted to purchase,
the
vineyard owners made several decisions—such as the type, level
and timing of certain sprays—that could have a major impact
on the resulting wine.
7 The first two years after planting comprised the pre-
productive period, before the vineyard yielded grapes. The pre-
productive period was followed by, on average, three years of
increasing harvests until in the fourth productive year when the
fully mature vines reached full production.

of high quality grapes, they would if needed cut back the grape
clusters to reduce the crop yield to
this target level. This practice concentrated the flavors in the
remaining fruit, sacrificing some
quantity to produce a superior wine.
In early 2001, the LLC planted the 5 acres of Pinot Noir at a
cost of $6,000 per acre and trellised all
12.9 acres—5 new and 7.9 recovered—at an additional cost of
$9,000 per acre. 2001 also marked the
beginning of recurring annual farming costs of $2,500 per acre
per year. Farming costs included both
materials and labor: applying fertilizer, sprays, equipment use,
tending the plants, harvesting,
pruning, and so forth.
In 2003, Obadiah Vineyard harvested its first crop of 7.5 tons,
primarily from the recovered
acreage; in 2004, 18.5 tons were harvested. The grapes sold for
$3,200 per ton. Per standard practice,
the vineyard collected 10% of the total sale price at harvest time
and 90% a year later. This collection
pattern arose historically because the purchasing wineries didn’t
receive revenue until the following
12. year, when they released the resulting wine. The initial 10%
ensured the vineyard could afford to pay
for the harvest labor.
With the 2004 harvest, Obadiah Vineyard’s gross margin turned
positive for the first time. The
(partially mature) salvaged vines produced more tons of grapes
than projected, and the quality of the
2003 harvest wine “in barrel” at Leoren Winery was extremely
promising.
Deferred Tax Asset and Liability8
For book purposes, Obadiah Vineyard depreciated the plants
and trellis using straight line
method over a useful life of 50 years. However, for tax
purposes, U.S. tax law dictated the
depreciation rates. Designed to stimulate the economy by
encouraging companies to invest in capital
equipment, the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System
(MACRS) specified faster cost recovery
for tax purposes than justified by economic reality (see Exhibit
1 for the vineyard’s depreciation
schedule). The MACRS rates did not increase the total tax
deduction allowed for capital
expenditures; they merely shifted the timing to earlier years.
Thus, the vineyard received larger tax
deductions now and would pay correspondingly higher taxes in
future years (see Exhibit 2 for the
vineyard’s deferred tax liability schedule).
By the end of 2004, Obadiah Vineyard had also accumulated a
sizeable net operating loss (NOL),
which consisted of the vineyard’s total negative taxable income
from inception to date (see Exhibit 3
for the vineyard’s tax-basis financial statements and Exhibit 4
13. for the NOL schedule). Because the
vineyard had not yet paid taxes, the U.S. tax law did not permit
a tax refund for these negative
earnings. However, for tax purposes, the vineyard could offset
these prior operating losses against
future taxable income (up to the NOL amount) to shield it from
tax. Specifically, agricultural NOLs
were to be first be “carried back”—that is, applied to offset any
taxable income in prior periods (none,
in this case) for a refund of taxes paid—and then “carried
forward” up to 20 years—that is, apply any
remaining NOL balance after carryback to offset taxable
income. Any NOL balance more than 20
years old was forfeited. In other words, the early expenses paid
by the vineyard would reduce its tax
payments in future years. (See Exhibit 5 for the vineyard’s
deferred tax asset schedule.)

14. Vineyard Projections
The brothers decided that, if they could obtain the necessary
funds, they should plant all of the
remaining 25.1 acres. As Arthur Maddox prepared the
projections for the vineyard’s harvest tonnage
with and without the additional acreage, he decided to err on the
side of caution. He estimated that
the new planting would have its first harvest in the third year
after planting, and gradually produce
more crop until it reached full production in 2010, when the
vines matured. He was confident that the
vineyard could, barring unusually severe weather, produce the
following tonnage of grapes each
year:

Planting the remaining acreage involved a one-time cost
$14,000 per acre, or $351,400, for the new
rootstock and trellising. To prepare the vines for productive use
also required two years of annual
farming costs of $62,750 per year (25.1 acres at $2,500 per
acre). The new vines & trellis had an
estimated useful life of 50 years, and Scott decided to
depreciate these new vines accordingly in his
financial projections. Finally, if the new planting were
16. undertaken, the crop failure insurance
premium would rise by $2,900, increasing the sales, general and
administrative expense (SG&A) to
$5,000 per year.
The brothers decided to seek a $600,000 cash infusion to cover
the planting and start-up costs. The
banker who worked with Scott on the existing vineyard
mortgage told Scott he could obtain a bank
loan of $250,000 with interest at 5.65% for a 20-year term, but
only if Scott were able to find equity
investors for the remaining $350,000 (see loan schedule at
Exhibit 6).
Using these projections and the financial projections he had
prepared based on the existing
planting (see Exhibit 7 for GAAP financial statements), Scott
Maddox sat down to prepare the
projected GAAP financial statements if the new planting were
undertaken.

ACC 423: Deferred Tax Case Questions
Fall A Quarter - 2019
Carefully read the case Deferred Taxes at Obadiah Vineyard.
Prepare answers for the following questions:
1. (2 points) Using the information provided in the case, prepare
the projected tax basis income statement and projected balance
sheet with the new planting for 2005 through 2008. (Note: The
loan is taken out for the new planting on January 1, 2005 and
assume the new vines along with crop insurance are put into
production on January 1, 2007.)
288. 2. (2 points) Now prepare the income statement and balance
sheet for 2005-2008 for the US GAAP financials with the new
planting.
3. (2 points) Assume that you are a potential lender to this
business (i.e., you are a bank considering a loan). What are the
two primary differences between the tax and GAAP financial
statements in parts 1 and 2 (above)? For these two accounts,
which treatment appears more useful to you in making your loan
decision? Support your answer.
4. (1 point) Assume now that the firm estimates an expected
useful life for the new planting of 5 years instead of 50 years.
How will this change to the useful life affect the US GAAP
balance sheet in 2007 and 2008? Please calculate and present
any numbers that will change from your answer in part 2.
5. (2 points) Assume now that the firm goes ahead with the new
planting (with the original useful life of 50 years). In 2007, the
tax rate changes unexpectedly to a 50% corporate rate. For 2007
and 2008 information only, how will this change the US GAAP
financials? Please calculate and present any numbers that will
change from your answer in part 2.
6. (1 point) In your own words, how do you interpret the effect
of the tax rate change in part (5) on current period net income?
Said another way, how would you explain the change in net
income to someone unfamiliar with deferred tax accounting?
