1.) On June 1, 2020, Hanes Company purchased 10 computers with an invoice price of $50,000. Other costs incurred were sales tax $2,100, Freight $300, installation of $2,300, testing of $300, prepaid insurance to cover the computers; $3,600. The computers are estimated to have a 5-year life and $5,000 salvage value.

Problem 16-1 Single temporary difference originates each year for four years [LO16-1]

Alsup Consulting sometimes performs services for which it receives payment at the conclusion of the engagement, up to six months after services commence. Alsup recognizes service revenue for financial reporting purposes when the services are performed. For tax purposes, revenue is reported when fees are collected. Service revenue, collections, and pretax accounting income for 2017–2020 are as follows:

Service Revenue Collections Pretax Accounting
Income
2017 $ 718,000 $ 698,000 $ 270,000
2018 830,000 840,000 335,000
2019 795,000 775,000 305,000
2020 780,000 805,000 285,000


There are no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than the temporary difference described above. The enacted tax rate for each year is 40%.

(Hint: You may find it helpful to prepare a schedule that shows the balances in service revenue receivable at December 31, 2017–2020.)

Required:
1. Prepare the appropriate journal entry to record Alsup's 2018 income taxes, Alsup’s 2019 income taxes and Alsup’s 2020 income taxes. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in thousands.)

Comprehensive Problem: Consolidation Working Paper and Financial Statements Pierre

Corporation acquired 75 percent of Selene Corporation’s common stock for $20,100,000 on January 2,

2017. The estimated fair value of the noncontrolling interest was $5,900,000. Selene’s book value at date

of acquisition was $10,000,000, and its identifiable net assets were fairly stated except for previously

unreported completed technology, valued at $4,000,000, with a remaining life of 5 years, straight‑line. It

is now December 31, 2020, and you are preparing consolidated financial statements for Pierre and Selene.

Following is information on intercompany transactions

1. On January 2, 2018, Pierre sold equipment to Selene for $6 million and recorded a gain of $2 million.

The equipment had a remaining life of 10 years at that time.

2. Selene supplies Pierre with component parts for its products, at a markup of 20 percent on cost.

During 2020, Selene made sales totaling $20 million to Pierre. Pierre had parts purchased for $1.8

million and $2.4 million in its 2020 beginning and ending inventory balances, respectively.

3. Pierre sells materials to Selene for use in its manufacturing processes, at a markup of 20 percent on sell‑

ing price. During 2020, Pierre made sales totaling $15 million to Selene. Selene had materials purchased

for $3 million and $2.8 million in its 2020 beginning and ending inventory balances, respectively

Goodwill arising from this acquisition was impaired by $3 million during the years 2017–2019, and no

further goodwill impairment occurred in 2020. Pierre uses the complete equity method to report the in‑

vestment in Selene on its own books. The separate December 31, 2020, trial balances of Pierre and Selene

appear below, before Pierre’s end‑of‑year adjustment to record its equity in Selene’s net income and other

comprehensive income for 2020.
