Based on her knowledge of regulations, she is aware that the effective tax rate for the company for 20X4 has been reduced by 5 percent from that in 20X3. 4. Based on a review of the general ledger, she determined that average depreciable assets have increased by 10 percent. Purchases of equipment occurred relatively evenly throughout the year. 5. Based on her knowledge of economic conditions, she is aware that the effective interest rate on the company's line of credit for 20X4 was approximately 12 percent. The average outstanding balance of the line of credit is $2,300,000. This line of credit is the company's only interest-bearing debt. 6.
