Williams-Santana, Inc., is a manufacturer of high-tech industrial parts that was started in 2006 by two talented engineers with little business training. In 2018, the company was acquired by one of its major customers. As part of an internal audit, the following facts were discovered. The audit occurred during 2018 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared. The income tax rate is 40% for all years.

A five-year casualty insurance policy was purchased at the beginning of 2016 for $33,000. The full amount was debited to insurance expense at the time.

Effective January 1, 2018, the company changed the salvage values used in calculating depreciation for its office building. The building cost $604,000 on December 29, 2007, and has been depreciated on a straight-line basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $120,000. Declining real estate values in the area indicate that the salvage value will be no more than $30,000.

On December 31, 2017, merchandise inventory was overstated by $23,000 due to a mistake in the physical inventory count using the periodic inventory system.

The company changed inventory cost methods to FIFO from LIFO at the end of 2018 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. The change will cause a $940,000 increase in the beginning inventory at January 1, 2019.

At the end of 2017, the company failed to accrue $15,100 of sales commissions earned by employees during 2017. The expense was recorded when the commissions were paid in early 2018.

At the beginning of 2016, the company purchased a machine at a cost of $680,000. Its useful life was estimated to be ten years with no salvage value. The machine has been depreciated by the double-declining balance method. Its book value on December 31, 2017, was $435,200. On January 1, 2018, the company changed to the straight-line method.

Warranty expense is determined each year as 1% of sales. Actual payment experience of recent years indicates that 0.70% is a better indication of the actual cost. Management effects the change in 2018. Credit sales for 2018 are $3,600,000; in 2017 they were $3,300,000.


Required:
For each situation:
1. Identify whether it represents an accounting change or an error. If an accounting change, identify the type of change. For accounting errors, choose "Not applicable".
2. Prepare any journal entry necessary as a direct result of the change or error correction as well as any adjusting entry for 2018 related to the situation described. Any tax effects should be adjusted for through Income tax payable or Refund income tax.

In 2018, the initial year of its existence, Dexter Company's accountant, in preparing both the income statement and the tax return

In 2018, the initial year of its existence, Dexter Company's accountant, in preparing both the income statement and the tax return, developed the following list of items causing differences between accounting and taxable income:

1.The company sells its merchandise on an installment contract basis. In 2018, Dexter elected, for tax purposes, to report the gross profit from these sales in the years the receivables are collected. However, for financial statement purposes, the company recognized all the gross profit in 2018. These procedures created a $750,000 difference between book and taxable incomes. The future collection of the installment contracts receivables are expected to result in taxable amounts of $375,000 in each of the next two years. (Note: the company treats installment contracts receivable as a current asset on its balance sheet.)

2.The company has also chosen to depreciate all of its depreciable assets on an accelerated basis for tax purposes but on a straight-line basis for accounting purposes. These procedures resulted in $90,000 excess depreciation for tax purposes over accounting depreciation. The temporary difference due to excess tax depreciation will reverse equally over the three year period from 2019-2021.

3.Dexter leased some of its property to Baker Company on July 1, 2018. The lease was to expire on July 1, 2020 and the monthly rentals were to be $90,000. Baker, however, paid the first year's rent in advance and Dexter reported this entire amount on its tax return. These procedures resulted in a $540,000 difference between book and taxable incomes. (Note: this lease was an operating lease and Dexter classified the unearned rent as a current liability on its balance sheet.)

4.Dexter owns $300,000 of bonds issued by the State of Oregon upon which 5% interest is paid annually. In 2018, Dexter showed $15,000 of income from the bonds on its income statement but did not show any of this amount on its tax return. (Note: these bonds are classified as long-term investments on Dexter's balance sheet.)

5.In 2018, Dexter insured the lives of its chief executives. The premiums paid amounted to $18,000 and this amount was shown as an expense on the income statement. However, this amount was not deducted on the tax return. The company is the beneficiary.

Instructions

Assuming that the income statement of Dexter Company showed "Income before income taxes" of $1,500,000; that the enacted tax rates are 30% for all years; and that no other differences between book and taxable incomes existed, except for those mentioned above:

1.Compute the income taxes payable.

2.Prepare a schedule of future taxable and (deductible) amounts at the end of 2018.

3.Prepare a schedule of deferred tax (asset) and liability at the end of 2018.

4.Compute the net deferred tax expense (benefit) for 2018.

Pitino acquired 90 percent of Brey's outstanding shares on January 1, 2016, in exchange for $495,000 in cash. The subsidiary's stockholders' equity accounts totaled $479,000 and the noncontrolling interest had a fair value of $55,000 on that day. However, a building (with a ten-year remaining life) in Brey's accounting records was undervalued by $47,000. Pitino assigned the rest of the excess fair value over book value to Brey's patented technology (six-year remaining life).

Brey reported net income from its own operations of $81,000 in 2016 and $97,000 in 2017. Brey declared dividends of $27,500 in 2016 and $31,500 in 2017.

Year Cost to Brey Transfer Price to Pitino Inventory Remaining at Year-End (at transfer price)
2016 $ 86,000 $ 200,000 $ 42,000
2017 110,000 220,000 54,000
2018 147,000 245,000 45,000

  1. A five-year casualty insurance policy was purchased at the beginning of 2016 for $39,500. The full amount was debited to insurance expense at the time.
  2. Effective January 1, 2018, the company changed the salvage values used in calculating depreciation for its office building. The building cost $636,000 on December 29, 2007, and has been depreciated on a straight-line basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $100,000. Declining real estate values in the area indicate that the salvage value will be no more than $25,000.
  3. On December 31, 2017, merchandise inventory was overstated by $29,500 due to a mistake in the physical inventory count using the periodic inventory system.
  4. The company changed inventory cost methods to FIFO from LIFO at the end of 2018 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. The change will cause a $1,005,000 increase in the beginning inventory at January 1, 2019.

  6. At the beginning of 2016, the company purchased a machine at a cost of $810,000. Its useful life was estimated to be ten years with no salvage value. The machine has been depreciated by the double-declining balance method. Its book value on December 31, 2017, was $518,400. On January 1, 2018, the company changed to the straight-line method.
  7. Warranty expense is determined each year as 1% of sales. Actual payment experience of recent years indicates that 0.75% is a better indication of the actual cost. Management effects the change in 2018. Credit sales for 2018 are $4,900,000; in 2017 they were $4,600,000.
