The COVID 19 Rapid Response fund was set up to alleviate the suffering of the people. “In March 2020, the Government of Canada announced $1 billion to support a whole-of-government COVID-19 Response Fund, which supports federal public health measures such as enhanced surveillance, increased testing and ongoing support for preparedness in First Nations and Inuit communities” Government of Canada (2020). The policy aims to reduce the suffering of people hit by COVID 19 that led to the loss of jobs and increment of unemployment in the country.

The objective of the response fund is to support researchers that will help develop measures to detect and reduce the transmission of COVID-19. The fund enabled the health care system to test patience suffering from the virus and help contain the spread of COVID 19 Government of Canada (2020). According to a research from the University of Calgary (2020), he objective is to support Alberta-based genomics projects designed to address specific, short-term needs of industry, not-for-profit, and public sector receptors through research conducted by academics in collaboration with these receptors, with near-term outcomes that address the COVID-19 crisis.

Question that needs to be answered

Why was the Response fund focused on one ethnic group and not others?

Zekany Corporation would have had identical income before taxes on both its income tax returns and income statements for the years 2018 through 2021 except for differences in depreciation on an operational asset. The asset cost $190,000 and is depreciated for income tax purposes in the following amounts:

  
The operational asset has a four-year life and no residual value. The straight-line method is used for financial reporting purposes.
  
Income amounts before depreciation expense and income taxes for each of the four years were as follows.
   

  
Assume the average and marginal income tax rate for 2018 and 2019 was 30%; however, during 2019 tax legislation was passed to raise the tax rate to 40% beginning in 2020. The 40% rate remained in effect through the years 2020 and 2021. Both the accounting and income tax periods end December 31.

Kookaburra Ltd used the cost model to measure its machine. Machine Z had cost of $80 000 and had a carrying amount of $70 000 at 30 June 2020 and is depreciated on a straight-line basis over a 10-year period.

On 31 December 2020, the directors of Kookaburra Ltd decided to change the basis of measuring the equipment from the cost model to the revaluation model. Machine Z was revalued to $70 000 with an expected useful life of 8 years.
