1. Option (b) is correct
A corporation's accounting income may differ from taxable income due to temporary differences between periods. Temporary differences are differences are differences that originate in the current period and reverse in the later periods.
2. Option (b) is correct
When an expense is recognized for tax purposes before it recognizes the expense for financial statement purposes, then it is due to prepaid expenses. For tax purposes, expenses are reported when paid and for accounting purposes, expenses are reported when incurred. So, prepaid expenses will be reported for tax purposes in earlier year than for accounting purposes.
