Wait, wait, wait... Did they really expect us to do math on this exam? I thought this was a certification, not a math competition! Anyway, I'm going with D, because it's the only one that makes sense to me.

But the notes mention that there is a tax refund expected, so it should be $(37) not $37.

This question is like a game of 'Find the Mistakes'! Let's see, the interest should be $50 and the corporate income tax should be $(3). I'm going with D, but I still feel like I'm missing something.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. Shouldn't the interest be $25 since the loan was received on 1 July 20X4? And the corporate income tax seems to be an over-provision, so shouldn't it be $(37)? I'm going with B.

I think you're right, the interest should be $25 because of the loan received in July. And the corporate income tax should be $(37) due to the over-provision.

Okay, let's see. The loan is repayable in 20X9, so the interest should be $50. And since there's a tax refund expected, the corporate income tax should be $(3). Looks like D is the correct answer.
