1. The equipment is depreciated using machine hours. The machine is expected to be used for a total of 110,000 hours over it estimated useful life. The following hours of usage were recorded in 2018, 2019, and 2020:

Chapter 16- prob. 7

Zekany Corporation would have had identical income before taxes on both its income tax returns and income statements for the years 2018 through 2021 except for differences in depreciation on an operational asset. The asset cost $290,000 and is depreciated for income tax purposes in the following amounts:

2018       $ 95,700

2019       127,600

2020           43,500

2021          23,200

The operational asset has a four-year life and no residual value. The straight-line method is used for financial reporting purposes.

Income amounts before depreciation expense and income taxes for each of the four years were as follows:

                                                                                              2018 2019 2020                 2021

Accounting income before taxes and depreciation           $155,000                $175,000             $165,000               $165,000

Assume the average and marginal income tax rate for 2018 and 2019 was 30%; however, during 2019 tax legislation was passed to raise the tax rate to 40% beginning in 2020. The 40% rate remained in effect through the years 2020 and 2021. Both the accounting and income tax periods end December 31.

Required: Prepare the journal entries to record income taxes for the years 2018 through 2021. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, write “No journal entry required” in the first account field.)

Laura Leasing Company signs an agreement on January 1, 2020, to lease equipment to Novak Company....

Laura Leasing Company signs an agreement on January 1, 2020, to lease equipment to Novak Company. The following information relates to this agreement.

1.

The term of the non-cancelable lease is 3 years with no renewal option. The equipment has an estimated economic life of 5 years.

2.

The fair value of the asset at January 1, 2020, is $74,000.

3.

The asset will revert to the lessor at the end of the lease term, at which time the asset is expected to have a residual value of $8,000, none of which is guaranteed.

4.

The agreement requires equal annual rental payments of $22,886.45 to the lessor, beginning on January 1, 2020.

5.

The lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is 4%. The lessor’s implicit rate is 3% and is unknown to the lessee.

6.

Novak uses the straight-line depreciation method for all equipment.

Prepare all of the journal entries for the lessee for 2020 to record the lease agreement, the lease payments, and all expenses related to this lease. Assume the lessee’s annual accounting period ends on December 31. (For calculation purposes, use 5 decimal places as displayed in the factor table provided and round answers to 2 decimal places, e.g. 5,265.25. Credit account titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. Record journal entries in the order presented in the problem.)

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

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 2017–2020 are as follows:

Service Revenue Collections Pretax Accounting
Income
2017 $ 718,000 $ 698,000 $ 270,000
2018 830,000 840,000 335,000
2019 795,000 775,000 305,000
2020 780,000 805,000 285,000


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 40%.

(Hint: You may find it helpful to prepare a schedule that shows the balances in service revenue receivable at December 31, 2017–2020.)

Required:
1. Prepare the appropriate journal entry to record Alsup's 2018 income taxes, Alsup’s 2019 income taxes and Alsup’s 2020 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 thousands.)

On January 1, 2019, Garner issued 10-year, $200,000 face value, 6% bonds at par. Each $1,000 bond is convertible into 30 shares of Garner $2 par value common stock. The company has had 10,000 shares of common stock (and no preferred stock) outstanding throughout its life. None of the bonds have been converted as of the end of 2020. (Ignore all tax effects.)

  2. Garner’s net income in 2020 was $30,000 and was $27,000 in 2019. Compute basic and diluted earnings per share for Garner for 2020 and 2019.
  3. Assume that 75% of the holders of Garner’s convertible bonds convert their bonds to stock on June 30, 2021, when Garner’s stock is trading at $32 per share. Garner pays $50 per bond to induce bondholders to convert. Prepare the journal entry to record the conversion.

Requirement 2: Analysis

Show how Garner will report income and EPS for 2020 and 2019. Briefly discuss the importance of GAAP for EPS to analysts evaluating companies based on price-earnings ratios. Consider comparisons for a company over time, as well as comparisons between companies at a point in time.

ANSWER QUESTION (5 ) I BOLD IT

Chapter 15: Product Development and Supply Chain Management

COVID 19 health crisis that we all are experiencing is giving us a healthy dose of reality to understand the importance of this chapter. Some pharmaceutical companies are racing to develop vaccines and drugs for this epidemic, and others are racing against the clock to produce ventilators and other critical equipment to deal with this public health crisis. Retailers are struggling to move supplies and fill the shelves to meet our needs: food, medicine, toilet papers, sanitizers, and the list can go on. Government agencies at all levels are watching and trying to protect against so-called “entrepreneurs” that are moving supplies to geographies where they can capitalize and earn more dollars.

Again, given the time constraints, we will focus on the following points:

  • 15-2 Innovation: A path the grow
  • 15-3 The product life cycle and new product development
  • 15-4a Branding
  • 15-6 The legal environment
  • 15-7 Supply chain management

I highly recommend that you read the whole chapter to get the full benefit. Your assignment is to discuss the following:

  1. Can you make an argument as to why a solid performing business DOES NOT need innovation to grow? Explain why!
  2. What is the importance of new product development? Put your answer in the perspective of the product life cycle.
  3. Why is banding relevant to the company’s products and services?
  4. This question will have two folds:
    1. What are the mechanisms in place to protect consumers?
    2. What are the mechanisms in place to protect a firm’s product and services
  5. From your perspective, choose one of the businesses around you in this crisis of COVID 19 that you think is not doing a good job in delivering the product or services that you are used to. Based on your reading of section 15-7 Supply chain management, identify what do you think the problem is and how you would solve it.
