HANGZHOU, China -- When Michelle Xian wandered into one of the fast-food restaurants at a shopping mall here on a recent weekday, she didn't realize it was a KFC.

The modern décor featured an open kitchen and hanging plants, and the menu included tuna-and-pesto paninis and quinoa-and-corn salads. Customers were busy placing orders via smartphone, using QR codes printed on tables, or through a facial-recognition system that matches their images to their Alipay digital wallets.

"I don't normally go to KFC because it's not that healthy," said Ms. Xian, 30 years old, who ordered a chicken sandwich before being told where she was. "This is more aligned with new trends."

The KFC concept store, known as KPRO, is a testing ground for owner Yum China Holdings as it tries to capture a new audience and drive growth in the wake of its spinoff from U.S. parent Yum Brands Inc. a year ago last week. In a strategic break from its American counterpart, which is going back to finger-lickin' basics in the U.S., Yum China is pushing healthier offerings and technology.

Since the spinoff, China's biggest fast-food chain, with more than 7,700 KFC and Pizza Hut stores, has bought a controlling stake in an online food-delivery company, partnered with China's most-popular digital wallet service and improved its smartphone apps.

Yum China's 63-year-old chief executive, Muktesh "Micky" Pant, concedes he was skeptical of the emphasis on apps at first, telling his team they were too complicated.

"They very politely told me to just hang on, and I'm glad I didn't interfere," he said in a recent interview. "People have far more apps on their phones, and they are able to navigate them effectively."

Mobile payments at Yum China's restaurants represented 45% of sales in the quarter ended Aug. 31, up from 17% in all of 2016. Delivery orders, most of which come from online apps, were 14% of sales in the same period, up from 10% last year. Its two-year-old loyalty program, meanwhile, has become one of the largest in the world, with more than 127 million members -- dwarfing industry leader Panera Bread Co. in the U.S., which has about 25 million members.

Net income in the first eight months of this year rose 19% over the same period a year earlier, while system sales, which include revenue from franchises and joint ventures, grew 10% in the latest quarter.

"To the U.S. investor, the numbers look meteoric," said Sara Senatore, an analyst at Sanford Bernstein. Shares in Yum China are up more than 65% since the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange in November 2016.

"But Yum, broadly speaking, is holding its own," she added, keeping pace with Chinese chain restaurant sales.

One not-so-bright spot for Yum China is Pizza Hut. Sales at its stores open at least a year were flat in the most recent quarter, compared with 7% sales growth at KFC.

Yum Brands was the first major Western fast-food company to enter China, beating McDonald's Corp. by three years when it opened a KFC near Tiananmen Square in 1987. Its long success was dimmed in recent years by food-safety scares and stronger competition, leading the parent company to spin it off and instead collect a percentage of sales.

"Food safety and nutrition is a greater consideration for Chinese consumers, while speed of service and authenticity is more important to U.S. consumers," said Morningstar analyst R.J. Hottovy in an email. Technology also figures heavily in Yum China's strategy. The company has partnered with Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. affiliate Ant Financial to offer its "smile to pay" system at the KPRO in Hangzhou, Alibaba's headquarters city.

Customers go to a self-serve kiosk to choose items on a video screen, then pay by looking at a camera, provided they've enabled facial-recognition on their Alipay app. For security, they must also enter their phone number.

Magruder Company reports pretax accounting income of $5,000,000 for 2019. The 2019 income tax rate is 20%. INCLUDED in accounting income is depreciation expense of $500,000 which was calculated using the straight line method. Magruder’s tax manager indicates that depreciation expense per the tax return will be $2,000,000 because the tax laws allow more accelerated depreciation. Magruder’s pretax accounting income does NOT include $1,000,000 of prepaid rent that a tenant paid to the company in 2019 because the prepayment represents rent due for 2020. The accountant properly recorded this amount as a liability on the balance sheet (Unearned Rent). The tax manager advises that the $1,000,000 must be INCLUDED in taxable income for 2019. Required: 1. Calculate taxable income income and income tax payable for 2019. 2. Prepare the adjusting entry to record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income tax payable.
