Question

Exercise 16-29 (Algo) Multiple differences; multiple tax rates [LO16-2, 16-3, 16-5, 16-6]

Case Development began operations in December 2021. When property is sold on an installment basis, Case recognizes installment income for financial reporting purposes in the year of the sale. For tax purposes, installment income is reported by the installment method. 2021 installment income was $960,000 and will be collected over the next three years. Scheduled collections and enacted tax rates for 2022–2024 are as follows:

2022	$	340,000	20	%
2023		340,000	25
2024		280,000	25

Case also had product warranty costs of $420,000 expensed for financial reporting purposes in 2021. For tax purposes, only the $100,000 of warranty costs actually paid in 2021 was deducted. The remaining $320,000 will be deducted for tax purposes when paid over the next three years as follows:

2022	$	120,000
2023		104,000
2024		96,000

Pretax accounting income for 2021 was $1,060,000, which includes interest revenue of $30,000 from municipal bonds. The enacted tax rate for 2021 is 20%.

Required:
1. Assuming no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than those described above, prepare the appropriate journal entry to record Case’s 2021 income taxes.
2. What is Case’s 2021 net income?
  

Answer 1

1.Assuming no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than those described above, prepare the appropriate journal entry to record Case’s 2021 income taxes.

Reconcile accounting income with taxable income

Pretax accounting income	$1060000
Less: permanent difference (interest income on municipal bond )	(30000)
Adjusted income	1030000
Temporary difference:
Add: Estimated Warranty exp (future deducible)	320000
Less: installment sales (future taxable )	960000
Taxable income	390000

.

Tax expenses on Adjusted income = 1030000 * 20% = 206000

Tax payable based on Taxable income = 390000 * 20% = 78000.

Journal entry:-

Accounts & Explanation	Debit	Credit
Tax expenses	$206000
Deferred tax liabiliy ( 270000 – 78000 )		$192000
Tax payable		$78000

2.What is Case’s 2021 net income?

Case’s 2021 net income = Pretax income - Income tax expense

= $1060000 - $206000 = $854000
