Question - The following information was gathered for you by a client looking for support in determining their deferred taxes:

- Investments are carried at FC-OCI and FV-NI depending on the intention to hold

- Accounting Income for the year is $125,000

- In 2015 a large inflow of cash was invested in short-term and long-term investments with elections taken to show investments at fair value

- Class 10 (30%) equipment was purchased in the current year with a value of $20,000 (assume ½ year does not apply). The company uses straight line depreciation and estimates a useful life of 5 years.

On February 1, 2020, the beginning of the fiscal year, accounts and records include the following information:

Cost 2015 Market Value 2020 Market Value 2021

Fair value through net income investments $55,000 $60,000 $62,000

Fair value through other comprehensive income investments $70,000 $77,000 $74,000

The company recorded meals and entertainment expenses of $24,000 related to "wining and dining" clients. The CRA allows 50% of these costs as a deductible business expense.

The tax rate for the current year is 25%, although changes enacted in tax will result in an increase in this rate to 30% for subsequent taxation years. Assume that these rates apply to all income that is reported.
