Sherrod, Inc., reported pretax accounting income of $100 million for 2016. The following information relates to differences between pretax accounting income and taxable income:

Income from installment sales of properties included in pretax accounting income in 2018 exceeded that reported for tax purposes by $8 million. The installment receivable account at year-end had a balance of $10 million (representing portions of 2017 and 2018 installment sales), expected to be collected equally in 2019 and 2020.

Sherrod was assessed a penalty of $4 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law in 2018. The fine is to be paid in equal amounts in 2018 and 2019.

Sherrod rents its operating facilities but owns one asset acquired in 2017 at a cost of $120 million. Depreciation is reported by the straight-line method assuming a four-year useful life. On the tax return, deductions for depreciation will be more than straight-line depreciation the first two years but less than straight-line depreciation the next two years ($ in millions):

Warranty expense of $7 million is reported in 2018. For tax purposes, the expense is deducted when costs are incurred, $4 million in 2018. At December 31, 2018, the warranty liability was $4 million (after adjusting entries). The balance was $1 million at the end of 2017.

In 2018, Sherrod accrued an expense and related liability for estimated paid future absences of $14 million relating to the company’s new paid vacation program. Future compensation will be deductible on the tax return when actually paid during the next two years ($9 million in 2019; $5 million in 2020).

During 2017, accounting income included an estimated loss of $4 million from having accrued a loss contingency. The loss is paid in 2018 at which time it is tax deductible.

Balances in the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts at January 1, 2018, were $2.0 million and $4.4 million, respectively. The enacted tax rate is 40% each year.

Required:
1. Determine the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2018 and prepare the appropriate journal entry.

3. Show how any deferred tax amounts should be classified and reported in the 2018 balance sheet.

In April of 2015, the FASB issued an Exposure Draft related to financial reporting of not-for-profit organizations. As a result of feedback received from constituents, the FASB decided to divide the proposed update to not-for-profit financial reporting into two phases. Phase one was completed and resulted in Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-14, Presentation of Financial Statements of Not-For-Profit Entities. Phase two considers whether a measure of operations should be required, and, if so, how it should be measured. At the FASB board meeting on May 29, 2013, the FASB tentatively decided to define an operating measure on the basis of two key dimensions: (1) whether resources are from or used to carry out the mission of the organization and (2) whether resources are available for use in the current period. As this textbook goes to press, the FASB has not yet begun to redeliberate phase two.

Required:

a. Research the current status of phase two of the FASB project. (Hint: The FASB website is www.fasb.org. However, you may wish to also search for other current articles about the project.) Write a summary of the project status to date. Has the FASB deliberated on phase two? If so, what is the status of those deliberations?

b. In addition to the operating measure component of phase two of the project, there were two other project objectives. Identify the objectives and discuss what, if any, proposals are being considered as part of these objectives.

c. After having performed this research, what is your opinion? Do you believe the proposed changes will, in fact, improve financial reporting? Explain the rationale for the position you take.
