(5marks) Computation of cost or value for assets and liabilities may be different between accounting computation and tax authority computation which may derive to temporary or permanent differences. Temporary differences are differences between the carrying amount of an asset or liability in the statement of financial position and its tax base. a) Illustrate five (5) examples of situations in which temporary differences may arise in accordance with MPERS.
