On January 1, 2021, Marshall Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common stock of Tucker Company. To acquire these shares, Marshall issued $310,000 in long-term liabilities and 20,000 shares of common stock having a par value of $1 per share but a fair value of $10 per share. Marshall paid $24,000 to accountants, lawyers, and brokers for assistance in the acquisition and another $9,000 in connection with stock issuance costs. Prior to these transactions, the balance sheets for the two companies were as follows: Marshall Company Book Value Tucker Company Book Value Cash $ 75,000 $ 38,800 Receivables 354,000 90,000 Inventory 380,000 229,000 Land 246,000 253,000 Buildings (net) 476,000 274,000 Equipment (net) 174,000 50,400 Accounts payable (241,000 ) (41,400 ) Long-term liabilities (480,000 ) (310,000 ) Common stock—$1 par value (110,000 ) Common stock—$20 par value (120,000 ) Additional paid-in capital (360,000 ) 0 Retained earnings, 1/1/21 (514,000 ) (463,800 ) Note: Parentheses indicate a credit balance. In Marshall’s appraisal of Tucker, it deemed three accounts to be undervalued on the subsidiary’s books: Inventory by $9,000, Land by $25,800, and Buildings by $32,200. Marshall plans to maintain Tucker’s separate legal identity and to operate Tucker as a wholly owned subsidiary. Determine the amounts that Marshall Company would report in its postacquisition balance sheet. In preparing the postacquisition balance sheet, any required adjustments to income accounts from the acquisition should be closed to Marshall’s retained earnings. Other accounts will also need to be added or adjusted to reflect the journal entries Marshall prepared in recording the acquisition. To verify the answers found in part (a), prepare a worksheet to consolidate the balance sheets of these two companies as of January 1, 2021.

Badbug makes Viral Memes which sell for $1,000 each.   The production process is fairly simple and involves tweaking components purchased from various suppliers.  Since each Viral Meme only takes one hour to assemble, there is essentially no work-in-process inventory.  

Badbug has the capacity to make 2,000 Viral Memes per year.

Costs for the Viral Meme components are:

Primary GIF

$100

Secondary GIF

20

JPEGs

10

Each meme should take one hour of direct labor to tweak.  Direct labor wages are $150 per hour.

Other manufacturing costs on a monthly basis are:

Factory Rent

$1,000

Factory Insurance

5,000

Factory Utilities

200

Factory Miscellaneous

300

Inventory balances are as follows (Badbug uses the FIFO inventory cost flow assumption):

Question -Please rephrase the passage below . i'm trying to elimate plagrism





I'm part of an energetic entrepreneurial team aspiring to create a difference in the field of Tech platforms. We are currently working on a software platform that aims to integrate range of media dvices like laptops, mobiles, video recorders and other devices. With growing number of devices in our daily life, it's becoming increasingly complex to manage all devices separately. With this advent, we aim to eliminate the multiple hands required to manage these devices and instead create a platform through which all these devices can be managed.

To achieve success in the enterprise, we have chalked out a strategy which we believe can bring growth and stability to this solution. Below are some of the key strategies to be implemented:

Target Customer – Our target customer is the young crowd – University students, working professionals who would want to utilise their valuable time in other activities rather than spending redundant time on managing devices and contents
Market
Short Term – Own University
Mid-Term – Other Universities
Long Term – Nation-wide
Marketing
Short Term – Word of Mouth, University Intranet, University Clubs, Fests, Sports Events etc
Mid-Term – Other Universities – Pamphlets, Social Networking Site, College Forums, Inter-University Events, Word of Mouth
Long Term – Mobile Marketing, Social Networking Sites, Collaboration with Device OEMs like Laptop, Cell phone manufacturers
Team Expansion
Short Term – Team of 3 people which will keep it light and decision making is easy
Mid-term – Expanded team of 10 people to manage on-ground activities across all other universities
Long-term – Full team to manage various functions like Operations, marketing, accounting, business development etc.
Operations
Short Term – Operations will be kept to basic in terms of bringing new users to the platform, convincing them of the benefits, collecting feedback and improve the platform
Mid-term – Here, operations will be relatively complex and on-ground activities to be conducted to ensure new customer acquisition. Operations team will be activated to manage the same.
Long-term – Professional operations team to be established to manage the large scale operations in this case.
Revenue –
Nominal annual subscription to be charged from students. Charges from professionals will be priced higher and provide value-ads to them.
Revenue from OEMs can be collected for advertisements on the platform
Future – In long term, It can be transformed into a warranty management system or other related marketplace as well.

Sherrod, Inc., reported pretax accounting income of $68 million for 2018. 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 $6 million. The installment receivable account at year-end had a balance of $8 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 $56 million. Depreciation is reported by the straight-line method assuming a four-year useful life. On the tax return, deductions for depreciation will be more than straight-line depreciation the first two years but less than straight-line depreciation the next two years ($ in millions):

Income Statement Tax Return Difference
2017 $ 14 $ 18 $ (4 )
2018 14 22 (8 )
2019 14 8 6
2020 14 8 6
$ 56 $ 56 $ 0

Warranty expense of $5 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 $3 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 ($8 million in 2019; $6 million in 2020).
During 2017, accounting income included an estimated loss of $2 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 $2.4 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.
2. What is the 2018 net income?
3. Show how any deferred tax amounts should be classified and reported in the 2018 balance sheet.
