Excel Practice Problem #1 & #6

In the solution of question #1, the following items are included in liabilities but are listed as assets on pg 20.10:

  • Assets held for sale
  • Property and Equipment
  • Deferred Tax Assets
    Should these be included as assets, so that equity = 68,987

In the solution of question #6, NRE is subtracted from TIR to find the ISR, however in the article the formula is stated as ISR = TIR - ISE + NRE? Which formula is correct?
