2. Based on her knowledge of industry trends, she believes that the gross pro?t for 20X4 should be about 2 percent less than the percentage for 20X3.

3. 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.
