Arndt, Inc., reported the following for 2018 and 2019 ($ in millions): 2018 2019 Revenues $ 996 $ 1,031 Expenses 784 824 Pretax accounting income (income statement) $ 212 $ 207 Taxable income (tax return) $ 210 $ 230 Tax rate: 40% Expenses each year include $30 million from a two-year casualty insurance policy purchased in 2018 for $60 million. The cost is tax deductible in 2018. Expenses include $3 million insurance premiums each year for life insurance on key executives. Arndt sells one-year subscriptions to a weekly journal. Subscription sales collected and taxable in 2018 and 2019 were $36 million and $48 million, respectively. Subscriptions included in 2018 and 2019 financial reporting revenues were $28 million ($10 million collected in 2017 but not recognized as revenue until 2018) and $36 million, respectively. Hint: View this as two temporary differences—one reversing in 2018; one originating in 2018. 2018 expenses included a $22 million unrealized loss from reducing investments (classified as trading securities) to fair value. The investments were sold in 2019. During 2017, accounting income included an estimated loss of $5 million from having accrued a loss contingency. The loss was paid in 2018 at which time it is tax deductible. At January 1, 2018, Arndt had a deferred tax asset of $7 million and no deferred tax liability.
2. Prepare a schedule that reconciles the difference between pretax accounting income and taxable income. Using the schedule,
prepare the necessary journal entry to record income taxes for 2018.

Halifax Manufacturing allows its customers to return merchandise for any reason up to 90 days after delivery and receive a credit to their accounts. All of Halifax's sales are for credit (no cash is collected at the time of sale). The company began 2018 with a refund liability of $300,000. During 2018, Halifax sold merchandise on account for $11,500,000. Halifax's merchandise costs it 65% of merchandise selling price. Also during the year, customers returned $450,000 in sales for credit, with $250,000 of those being returns of merchandise sold prior to 2018, and the rest being merchandise sold during 2018. Sales returns, estimated to be 4% of sales, are recorded as an adjusting entry at the end of the year.
Required:
1. Prepare entries to (a) record actual returns in 2018 of merchandise that was sold prior to 2018; (b) record actual returns in 2018 of merchandise that was sold during 2018; and (c) adjust the refund liability to its appropriate balance at year end.
2. What is the amount of the year-end refund liability after the adjusting entry is recorded?
1 Record the actual sales return of merchandise sold prior to 2018.
2 Record the cost of merchandise returned for goods sold prior to 2018
3 Record the actual sales return of merchandise sold during 2018
4 Record the cost of merchandise returned for goods sold during 2018.
5 Record the year-end adjusting entry for estimated returns.
6 Record the adjusting entry for the estimated return of merchandise to inventory.

Consider a firm, Firm A, who needs to purchase bushels of corn in December of 2018. The current price per bushel of corn is $3.60. Assume the firm cannot pass on any increased costs due to changes in price to their customers.
(a) What type(s) of derivative contract(s) could Firm A use to hedge its price risk for all future prices of corn? What position should Firm A take (buy/long or sell/short)?
(b) What type(s) of derivative contract(s) could Firm A use to hedge its price risk for a specific range of prices? Be specific. What position should Firm A take (buy/long or sell/short)?
(c) Describe some advantages and disadvantages of each in part (a) and (b).
A single futures contract for corn is for 5,000 bushels, but prices are quoted per bushel. For example, the total payment at maturity for one May 2018 contract would be $18,400 (5,000 bushels x $3.68 per bushel). Contracts are available that expire in March (14 Mar 2018), May (14 May 2018), July (13 Jul 2018), September (14 Sept 2018) and December (14 Dec 2018) of this year.
| Maturity Date | Futures Price |
| MAY 2018 | $3.68 |
| JUL 2018 | $3.76 |
| SEP 2018 | $3.83 |
| DEC 2018 | $3.92 |
| MAR 2019 | $4.00 |
(d) Suppose Firm A needs to purchase 11,000 bushels on December 1, 2018. Can Firm A completely hedge its price risk with futures contracts? Explain why or why not.
