Ross Company has been in business for several years, during which time it has been profitable. For each of those years, Ross reported (and paid taxes on) taxable income in the same amount as pretax financial income based on the following revenues and expenses:

Ross was subject to the following income tax rates during this period: 2012, 20%; 2013, 25%; 2014, 30%; and 2015, 25%. During 2016, Ross experienced a severe decrease in the demand for its products. The company tried to offset this decrease with an expensive marketing campaign, but was unsuccessful. Consequently, at the end of 2016, Ross determined that its revenues were $60,000 and its expenses were $193,000 during 2016 for both income taxes and financial reporting.

Ross decided to carry back its 2016 operating loss because it was not confident it could earn taxable income in the future carryforward period. The income tax rate was 30% in 2016, and no change in the tax rate had been enacted for future years.

In 2017, Ross developed and introduced a new product that proved to be in high demand. On June 1, 2017, Ross received a refund check from the government based on the tax information it filed at the end of 2016. For 2017, Ross reported revenues of $181,000 and expenses of $155,000 for both income taxes and financial reporting. The applicable income tax rate was 30%.

Required:

Great Adventures Problem AP9-1 (GL) Tony’s favorite memories of his childhood were the times he spent with his dad at camp. Tony was daydreaming of those days a bit as he and Suzie jogged along a nature trail and came across a wonderful piece of property for sale. He turned to Suzie and said, “I’ve always wanted to start a camp where families could get away and spend some quality time together. If we just had the money, I know this would be the perfect place.” On November 1, 2022, Great Adventures purchased the land by issuing a $780,000, 6%, 10-year installment note to the seller. Payments of $8,660 are required at the end of each month over the life of the 10-year loan. Each monthly payment of $8,660 includes both interest expense and principal payments (i.e., reduction of the loan amount). Late that night Tony exclaimed, “We now have land for our new camp; this has to be the best news ever!” Suzie said, “There’s something else I need to tell you. I’m expecting!” They decided right then, if it was a boy, they would name him Venture.
