The novel corona virus disease (also known as COVID – 19) which started in WUHAN in December 2019 has grounded the global economy to a halt. World crude prices reached their lowest and trade among nations have generally slowed. Production has slowed and jobs are being lost across the globe.
Globally, over seven million people have contracted the virus and over four hundred thousand have died. Ghana announced its first two confirmed cases of COVID – 19 on 12 March, 2020 and as at June 14, 2020, the number of confirmed cases stood at 11,964 with 54 deaths. The impact of the COVID – 19 pandemic on Ghanaian economy and the global economy at large is predicted to be very severe. The government of Ghana, like many other governments, is spending more funds on containing the pandemic and limiting the effect of the pandemic on the economy. The IMF Executive Board approved the disbursement of US$1 billion drawn under the Rapid Credit Facility (RCF) for Ghana on April 13, 2020 after receiving application from the country’s government.
Given this background, briefly discuss the repercussions of the corona virus pandemic for the Ghanaian economy and foreign exchange market. Suggest ways of mitigating the effects of covid – 19 on Ghana’s balance of payments (BOP).

Problem 16-1 (Algo) Single temporary difference originates each year for four years [LO16-2]

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 2020–2023 are as follows:

Service Revenue Collections Pretax Accounting
Income
2020 $ 688,000 $ 648,000 $ 214,000
2021 778,000 806,000 288,000
2022 738,000 730,000 256,000
2023 744,000 748,000 228,000


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 25%.

(Hint: You will find it helpful to prepare a schedule that shows the balances in service revenue receivable at December 31, 2020–2023.)

Required:
1. to 3. Prepare the appropriate journal entries to record Alsup's 2021 income taxes, 2022 income taxes and 2023 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 whole dollars.)

On November 1, 2017, Tamarisk Company adopted a stock-option plan that granted options to key executives to purchase 24,900 shares of the company’s $9 par value common stock. The options were granted on January 2, 2018, and were exercisable 2 years after the date of grant if the grantee was still an employee of the company. The options expired 6 years from date of grant. The option price was set at $30, and the fair value option-pricing model determines the total compensation expense to be $373,500.

All of the options were exercised during the year 2020: 16,600 on January 3 when the market price was $66, and 8,300 on May 1 when the market price was $77 a share.

Prepare journal entries relating to the stock option plan for the years 2018, 2019, and 2020. Assume that the employee performs services equally in 2018 and 2019. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.
