CFA Practice Question
Which of the following would result in expected reversals of timing differences not occurring?
II. A firm that has been growing
III. Changes in accounting methods
I. A rise in price levels
II. A firm that has been growing
III. Changes in accounting methods
Correct Answer: I, II and III
Any of the these items can cause the deferred tax asset or liability (usually a liability) to continue to grow and not reverse. Larger differences are put into the account than are taken out, and the account thus continues to grow.
