Grim expensed, for book purposes, meals totaling $46,000 and entertainment costs totaling $54,000. These costs were incurred by Grim sales personnel, are reasonable in amount, and are documented in company records.
During January of the current year, Grim was sued by one of its employees as a result of a work-related accident. The suit has not yet gone to court. However, Grim’s auditors required the company to record a contingent liability (and related book expense) for $50,000, reflecting the company’s likely liability from the suit.
Grim recorded federal income tax expense for book purposes of $80,000.
Grim used the reserve method for calculating bad debt expenses for book purposes. Its book income statement reflects bad debt expense of $30,000, calculated as 1.5 percent of sales revenue. Actual write-offs of accounts receivable during the year totaled $22,000.
MACRS depreciation for the year totals $95,000.
