stranger correct answer here is B since D is true and has been given as explanation
kalps Spot on old boy, I agree
johntan1979 So I guess you could say that the tax rate change is retrospective.
ecapocas Eh. It's kinda misleading. To do the full process you need to use both rates, then the difference between the two is your adjustment to the balances.
