Sherrod, Inc., reported pretax accounting income of $74 million for 2021. The following information relates to differences between pretax accounting income and taxable income:

  1. Income from installment sales of properties included in pretax accounting income in 2021 exceeded that reported for tax purposes by $7 million. The installment receivable account at year-end 2021 had a balance of $8 million (representing portions of 2020 and 2021 installment sales), expected to be collected equally in 2022 and 2023.
  2. Sherrod was assessed a penalty of $3 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law in 2021. The fine is to be paid in equal amounts in 2021 and 2022.
  3. Sherrod rents its operating facilities but owns one asset acquired in 2020 at a cost of $68 million. Depreciation is reported by the straight-line method, assuming a four-year useful life. On the tax return, deductions for depreciation will be more than straight-line depreciation the first two years but less than straight-line depreciation the next two years ($ in millions):
Income Statement Tax Return Difference
2020 $ 17 $ 22 $ (5 )
2021 17 29 (12 )
2022 17 10 7
2023 17 7 10
$ 68 $ 68 $ 0
  1. For tax purposes, warranty expense is deducted when costs are incurred. The balance of the warranty liability was $1 million at the end of 2020. Warranty expense of $3 million is recognized in the income statement in 2021. $2 million of cost is incurred in 2021, and another $3 million of cost anticipated in 2022. At December 31, 2021, the warranty liability is $2 million (after adjusting entries).
  2. In 2021, Sherrod accrued an expense and related liability for estimated paid future absences of $14 million relating to the company’s new paid vacation program. Future compensation will be deductible on the tax return when actually paid during the next two years ($8 million in 2022; $6 million in 2023).
  3. During 2020, accounting income included an estimated loss of $2 million from having accrued a loss contingency. The loss is paid in 2021, at which time it is tax deductible.

Balances in the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts at January 1, 2021, were $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively. The enacted tax rate is 25% each year.

1. Determine the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2021, and prepare the appropriate journal entry. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.50).)

Abbotsford Tile Ltd. (ATL) is a wholesaler of high quality glass, ceramic and marble tiles. In November 2019 the owner of ATL agreed to sell the company to Barrie Tile Inc. (BTI) another tile wholesaler. Each company is owned and operated by a single individual who originally founded his company. The owner of ATL decided to sell his business because he was beginning to get too old to run the store. The owner of BTI wants to purchase ATL to expand the size of his business. The two men agreed over lunch that BTI would buy ATL for an amount equal to five times ATL’s net income before tax for the year ended December 31, 2019. The deal is to be finalized on March 1, 2020. Closure of the deal requires that BTI approve of the financial statements prepared by ATL. The two men agreed that any disputes regarding the financial statements would be settled by negotiations and, if necessary, by arbitration by an independent third party. It is now January 15, 2020. You have been called by BTI’s owner to help him understand and assess a number of transactions that are reported in ATL’s December 31, 2019 financial statements. The owner of BTI explained that he does not have much experience working with financial statements but based on his examination, along with information obtained from other sources, he is concerned about a number of transactions reported in ATL’s statements. The owner has asked you for a detailed report explaining the impact of each event on the purchase price of ATL and your assessment of each of the issues. BTI’s owner said that he would like a full explanation of the implications of each event, your evaluation of the accounting used by ATL, and your supported recommendation of the appropriate treatment for each event. Your explanations are important because they will be used in negotiations with the owner of ATL and, if necessary, presented to the arbitrator.

The owner of BTI provided you with the following information about the events that are of concern to him:

a) GTL paid a $60,000 non-refundable fee on October 15, 2019 to their delivery company as a prepayment for services from November 1 2019 – November 1, 2020. The contract between the delivery company and GTL is for 2 years. The delivery company charges GTL $20,000 each month, less $5,000 which has been paid up front as the deposit. The $60,000 has been recorded as a prepaid asset. The delivery expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 totaled $30,000.

b) In August 2019, ATL entered into a long term contract with another tile retailer, Great Tile Ltd (GTL). As part of the agreement, GTL agreed to order products from ATL on a monthly basis. In November 2019 GTL placed a large tile order that will be delivered evenly over a 5- month period. The order totaled $350,000, and GTL paid an upfront non-refundable deposit of $150,000. The fee was recorded as revenue. The first order, with $70,000 worth of goods was shipped to GTL on November 20, 2019. The second order was scheduled to ship on December 20, however, due to the busy holiday season and staffing issues, GTL requested that the order be held at ATL’s facility until after the winter break. Since the shipment was ready to go, ATL placed the tiles in a separate part of their facility. ATL recognized revenue for both the November and December orders in 2019, totaling $140,000.
