2. | On January 1, 2017, equipment costing $600,000 is purchased. For financial reporting purposes, the company uses straight-line depreciation over a 5-year life. For tax purposes, the company uses the elective straight-line method over a 5-year life. (Hint: For tax purposes, the half-year convention as discussed in Appendix 11A must be used.) | |
3. | In January 2018, $225,000 is collected in advance rental of a building for a 3-year period. The entire $225,000 is reported as taxable income in 2018, but $150,000 of the $225,000 is reported as unearned revenue in 2018 for financial reporting purposes. The remaining amount of unearned revenue is to be recognized equally in 2019 and 2020. | |
4. | The tax rate is 40% in 2017 and all subsequent periods. (Hint: To find taxable income in 2017 and 2018, the related income taxes payable amounts will have to be “grossed up.”) | |
5. |
No temporary differences existed at the end of 2016. Elbert expects to report taxable income in each of the next 5 years. |
Question: Prepare the journal entry to record income taxes for 2018.
