Silly Inc. reported income from continuing operations before taxes during 2020 of $802,600. Additional transactions occurring in 2020 but not considered in the $802,600 are as follows.

1. The corporation experienced an uninsured flood loss in the amount of $92,900 during the year.
2. At the beginning of 2018, the corporation purchased a machine for $72,000 (salvage value of $12,000) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation for 2018, 2019, and 2020, but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base.
3. Sale of securities held as a part of its portfolio resulted in a loss of $64,900 (pretax).

The tax rate on these items is 30%.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

Mars Dump is a multinational company that is caught by the Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS).

Details of ETS are as follows:

It is a cap and trade scheme in which permits are traded in an active market. Its annual compliance period is from 1 July of the current period to 30 June of the following year.

Each participating company receives an allocation of free permits each year based on their reporting carbon emissions from the previous period. In the case of Mars Dump Ltd, permits to emit 36 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents have been issued on the first day of the current period (i.e. 1 July 2019) when the market price of a permit was $25 per tonne of carbon dioxide equivalents.

During the 2019/2020 financial year, Mars Dump emitted 37 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents, which exceeded its permitted emissions of 36 000 tones. This occurred despite the managers of Mars Dump estimating that it had emitted 19 000 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents by 31 March 2020 and was therefore on target to emit 36 000 tonnes by 30 June 2020. The market price of a permit is $27 on 31 March 2020. As a result of exceeding allowed emission levels, on 30 June 2020, Mars Dump purchased 1 000 permits at a market price of $33 per tonne. Mars Dump uses the cost model in accordance with AASB 138, and amortises any deferred income arising from the permits using the proportion of actual emissions to estimated total emissions.
