Hmm, let me think about this. If the loan is repayable in 20X9, then the interest for the year should be $25. And the tax refund is $20, not $3. So the answer has to be B. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!

Haha, these accounting questions always make my head spin. But I think I've got it this time - the answer is C. Fifty bucks for the interest and a measly three-dollar tax refund? Sounds about right for a company like AA.

I'm leaning towards D. The interest on the loan would be $50, and the corporate income tax refund is $3, based on the information provided.

I'm pretty sure the answer is B. The loan was received on 1 July 20X4 and is repayable in 20X9, so the interest for the year should be $25. And the corporate income tax is an over-provision, so it should be a refund of $37.
