| alexsar75 | wouldn't the effective tax rate be the actual tax that was paid? |
| dbedford | Effective tax rate for you and I is what we paid in taxes. Effective tax rate for a corporation is Tax Expense / pre tax income |
I was very pleased with your notes and question bank. I especially like the mock exams because it helped to pull everything together.
