At the beginning of 2016, Norris Company had a deferred tax liability of $6,400, because of the use of MACRS depreciation for income tax purposes and units-of-production depreciation for financial reporting. The income tax rate is 30% for 2015 and 2016, but in 2015 Congress enacted a 39% tax rate for 2017 and future years. Norris’s accounting records show the following pretax items of financial income for 2016: income from continuing operations, $121,600 (revenues of $353,400 and expenses of $231,800); gain on disposal of Division F, $24,100; loss from operations of discontinued Division F, $11,900; and prior period adjustment, $17,000, due to an error that understated revenue in 2015. All of these items are taxable; however, financial depreciation for 2016 on assets related to continuing operations exceeds tax depreciation by $4,500. Norris had a retained earnings balance of $161,000 on January 1, 2016, and declared and paid cash dividends of $32,700 during 2016. Required: 1.
