P18.1  Anthony Ltd. began business on January 1, 2019. At December 31, 2019, it had a $58,500 balance in the Deferred Tax Liability account that pertains to property, plant, and equipment acquired on July 1, 2019 at a cost of $900,000. The property, plant, and equipment is being depreciated on a straight-line basis over six years for financial reporting purposes, and is a Class 8—20% asset for tax purposes. Anthony's income before income tax for 2020 was $60,000. Anthony Ltd. follows IFRS.

The following items caused the only differences between accounting income before income tax and taxable income in 2020.

  1. In 2020, the company paid $56,250 for rent; of this amount, $18,750 was expensed in 2020. The other $37,500 will be expensed equally over the 2021 and 2022 accounting periods. The full $56,250 was deducted for tax purposes in 2020.
  2. Anthony Ltd. pays $9,000 a year for a membership in a local golf club for the company's president.
  3. Anthony Ltd. now offers a one-year warranty on all its merchandise sold. Warranty expenses for 2020 were $9,000. Cash payments in 2020 for warranty repairs were $4,500.
  4. Meals and entertainment expenses (only 50% of which are ever tax deductible) were $12,000 for 2020.
  5. The maximum allowable CCA was taken in 2020. There were no asset disposals for 2020. Assume the PPE is considered “eligible equipment” for purposes of the Accelerated Investment Incentive (under the AII, instead of using the half-year rule, companies are allowed a first-year deduction using 1.5 times the standard CCA rate).

Income tax rates have not changed since the company began operations.

Instructions

a. Calculate the balance in the Deferred Tax Asset or Deferred Tax Liability account at December 31, 2020.

b. Calculate income tax payable for 2020.

c. Prepare the journal entries to record income taxes for 2020.

d. Prepare the income tax expense section of the income statement for 2020, beginning with the line “Income before income tax.”

e. Indicate how deferred taxes should be presented on the December 31, 2020 SFP.

f. How would your response to parts (a) to (e) change if Anthony reported under ASPE?

A college senior must choose between two Choices: going for an MBA or taking a full-time entry-level-level position right after graduation. She thinks that she has 0.6 probability of completing the MBA in a year. If she completes the MBA, she believes that she has 0.1 probability of getting a manager position; otherwise, she will get a senior staff position. Should she fails the MBA, she will have to take the entry job but with less seniority than what she would have if she had gone to work right after graduation. Once started at the entry-level position for a year, she believes that she has a 50-50 chance of moving up to a junior staff position versus staying at the entry-level position. Her preferences for the possible outcomes of her choice at the end of two years are listed in decreasing order below:

(1) Completing the MBA and getting a management position

(2) Completing the MBA and getting a senior staff position

(3) Moving to junior staff without going to MBA and thus more seniority

(4) Moving to junior staff after failing the MBA

(5) Staying at entry level without going to MBA and thus more seniority

(6) Staying at entry level after failing the MBA

Using the simple decision tree for utility estimation, she has found that she would be indifferent between:

Outcome (2) and a lottery with a 50-50 chance of yielding the best outcome (1) and the worst outcome (6)

Outcome (3) and the lottery if the lottery has a 0.35 probability yielding (1) and a 0.65 probability of yielding (6).

Outcome (4) and the lottery if the lottery has a 0.2 probability yielding (1) and a 0.8 probability of yielding (6).

Outcome (5) and the lottery if the lottery has a 0.1 probability yielding (1) and a 0.9 probability of yielding (6).

6a (10 points) By assigning a utility 0 to (6) and 100 to (1), find the utility for each of the four outcomes between (1) and (6).

6b (10 points) Draw a decision tree for her career decision and find her best Choice for the two-year period

1) Suppose there are two types of economics majors, “stars” and “everyone else” and both types would
like jobs at a consulting company. Productivity equals $100,000 for the stars, and $50,000 for everyone
else. 80 percent of economics majors are "everyone else” (meaning not stars) and 20% are stars.
Suppose none of the screening methods consulting companies use are effective. However, workers may
signal their ability by earning an MBA at an elite business school. The cost is 30,000 for the stars, and
60,000 for everyone else. All firms pay workers their productivity (if there is signaling), or their expected
productivity (if there is no signaling). Workers are employed for only a single period after being hired.
a. How is it possible that the cost of an MBA differs by ability? Tippie’s website advertises
in-state tuition at Iowa for the full-time MBA program as $40,000 and does not
distinguish between ability.
b. Is the MBA an effective signal? Discuss the three criteria.
c. Now suppose the population is evenly divided between stars and ‘everyone else’. Does
this change your answer to (b)?
d. Discuss your results to (b) and (c). Intuitively, why does the percent of the population
that is a star impact whether getting an MBA is a beneficial choice for a star?
2) Suppose the consulting company is trying to create a job offer so that only stars will apply. The firm
plans to create a probationary period during which time new hires earn $X. After an evaluation period, it
will promote the stars and pay them $Y. It will let go of everyone else. The probationary period is 1 year
and candidates who are promoted will stay for 1 additional year. Assume all applicants can easily get a
job for $60,000 at other firms.
In order for the offer to induce signaling, suggest a value for X and a value for Y. (Do not worry about the
firm maximizing profit, just focus on the signal generating a separating equilibrium.)
In order for the above job offer to induce signaling, what assumptions are we implicitly making? Why
might low quality candidates accept the job offer? Why might high quality candidates not accept the offers?

Gumdrop spent $2 million in 2020 on a customer service course for all of its employees, and the customer reviews went up from a 3 star average to a 4.5 star average. Gumdrop records this expenditure of $2 million under the goodwill account, since the expenditure has improved the brand equity of the firm. Are they acting in accordance of US GAAP? Why or why not?
