                            Question #1

                            Rosa joined Avion Electronics in April 1983. Her employment was terminated on November 30, 2015 and she was paid a $62,500.00 retiring allowance. Rosa joined her company's pension plan in 1986 and was fully vested on termination of employment. Calculate the non-eligible portion of the retiring allowance.

                            Correct Answer:

                            $32,000.00 non-eligible portion
                            Explanation:
                            CRA requires separating a retiring allowance into an eligible and non-eligible portion. The eligible portion is the maximum that can be transferred to an RRSP/RPP under the special rules (without using regular RRSP room). The formula is: $2,000 for each year (or part-year) of service before 1996, plus an additional $1,500 for each year (or part-year) before 1989 in which the employee had no employer pension/DPSP benefit vested at the time of payment (or previously paid).
                            Rosa worked from 1983 to 1995 (inclusive) for pre-1996 service: 13 years × $2,000 = $26,000.
                            For the extra pre-1989 amount: she joined the pension plan in 1986 and was fully vested when paid the retiring allowance in 2015, so 1986-1988 do not qualify for the extra $1,500. However, 1983-1985 were years before 1989 when she had no vested employer pension benefit, so 3 years × $1,500 = $4,500.
                            Eligible portion = $26,000 + $4,500 = $30,500.
                            Non-eligible portion = $62,500 # $30,500 = $32,000.

                            • A. A rate of pay earned per unit of production, regardless of the length of time taken
                            • B. A fixed amount of earnings paid to an employee per pay period, regardless of the number of hours worked or the production they accomplished
                            • C. Earnings which are based on the amount of time worked, usually at a rate per hour or per day
                            • D. All of the above

                            Question #4

                            Jasmine works for a Saskatchewan employer and earns $500.00 weekly. Calculate her Employment Insurance (EI) premium.

                            Reveal Solution  Discussion  0

                            Correct Answer:

                            $8.15 (employee EI premium for the week)
                            Explanation:
                            For employees whose province of employment is outside Quebec (including Saskatchewan), EI premiums are calculated by multiplying the employee's insurable earnings by the employee EI premium rate for the year, up to the annual maximum insurable earnings. For 2026, the employee EI premium rate outside Quebec is $1.63 per $100 of insurable earnings (which is 1.63%).
                            Jasmine earns $500.00 weekly and (based on the question) we assume all earnings are insurable and she has not reached the annual maximum. Her EI premium is:
                            $500.00 × 1.63% = $500.00 × 0.0163 = $8.15.
                            This amount is deducted from the employee's pay and later remitted to the CRA as part of the employer's regular payroll remittance. The maximum insurable earnings for 2026 is $68,900, but at $500 per week she would only hit the maximum later in the year (if at all), so the weekly premium calculation above applies.

                            Question #5

                            Anne Massy works for Liberty Promotions in Nunavut and is provided with a company-leased automobile.
                            The automobile was in Anne's possession for 365 days. Of the 34,134 kilometres driven, 15,805 kilometres were for business purposes. The monthly lease cost of the vehicle was $198.60, excluding GST calculated at
                            5%. Anne requested in writing that Liberty Promotions use the optional operating cost method if all conditions apply. She did not reimburse the company for any of the expenses associated with the automobile.
                            Calculate Anne's annual automobile taxable benefit.

                            Correct Answer:

                            $7,900.10
                            Explanation:
                            Anne has both an automobile standby charge (because the car was made available) and an operating expense benefit (because the employer paid operating costs and she did not reimburse).
                            1) Standby charge (leased auto): Lease cost for standby charge purposes includes GST and excludes insurance.
                            Monthly lease incl. GST = $198.60 × 1.05 = $208.53.
                            Standby charge per month = 2/3 × $208.53 = $139.02.
                            Days available ÷ 30 = 365 ÷ 30 = 12.17, rounded to 12.
                            Annual standby charge = $139.02 × 12 = $1,668.24.
                            2) Operating expense benefit: Personal km = 34,134 # 15,805 = 18,329.
                            Optional method requires the automobile be used primarily (>50%) for business; Anne's business use is under
                            50%, so the optional method does not apply and the fixed rate must be used.
                            Fixed rate (2026) = $0.34/km # 18,329 × 0.34 = $6,231.86.
                            Total taxable benefit = $1,668.24 + $6,231.86 = $7,900.10.
