Taxable income is a tax accounting term and is also referred to as income before taxes. 2. Pretax financial income is the amount used to compute income tax payable. 3. Taxable amounts increase taxable income in future years. 4. A deferred tax liability represents the increase in taxes payable in future years as a result of taxable temporary differences existing at the end of the current year. 5. Deductible amounts cause taxable income to be greater than pretax financial income in the future as a result of existing temporary differences. 6. A deferred tax asset represents the increase in taxes refundable in future years as a result of deductible temporary differences existing at the end of the current year. 7. A company reduces a deferred tax asset by a valuation allowance if it is probable that it will not realize some portion of the deferred tax asset. 8. Companies should consider both positive and negative evidence to determine whether it needs to record a valuation allowance to reduce a deferred tax asset. 9. A company should add a decrease in a deferred tax liability to income tax payable in computing income tax expense. 10. Taxable temporary differences will result in taxable amounts in future years when the related assets are recovered. 11. Examples of taxable temporary differences are subscriptions received in advance and advance rental receipts. 12. Permanent differences do not give rise to future taxable or deductible amounts. 13. Companies must consider presently enacted changes in the tax rate that become effective in future years when determining the tax rate to apply to existing temporary differences. 14. When a change in the tax rate is enacted, the effect is reported as an adjustment to income tax payable in the period of the change. 15. Under the loss carryback approach, companies must apply a current year loss to the most recent year first and then to an earlier year. 16. The tax effect of a loss carryforward represents future tax savings and results in the recognition of a deferred tax asset. 17. A possible source of taxable income that may be available to realize a tax benefit for loss carryforwards is future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. 18. An individual deferred tax asset or liability is classified as current or noncurrent based on the classification of the related asset/liability for financial reporting purposes. 19. Companies should classify the balances in the deferred tax accounts on the balance sheet as noncurrent assets and noncurrent liabilities. 20. The FASB believes that the deferred tax method is the most consistent method for accounting for income taxes. True-False Answers—Conceptual Item Ans. Item Ans. Item Ans. Item Ans. 1. F 6. T 11. F 16.

EXERCISES Ex. 19-105—Computation of taxable income. The records for Bosch Co. show this data for 2013: • Gross profit on installment sales recorded on the books was $360,000. Gross profit from collections of installment receivables was $240,000. • Life insurance on officers was $3,800. • Machinery was acquired in January for $300,000. Straight-line depreciation over a ten-year life (no salvage value) is used. For tax purposes, MACRS depreciation is used and Bosch may deduct 14% for 2013. • Interest received on tax exempt Iowa State bonds was $9,000. • The estimated warranty liability related to 2013 sales was $21,600. Repair costs under warranties during 2013 were $13,600. The remainder will be incurred in 2014. • Pretax financial income is $600,000. The tax rate is 30%. Instructions (a) Prepare a schedule starting with pretax financial income and compute taxable income. (b) Prepare the journal entry to record income taxes for 2013.

Define temporary differences, future taxable amounts, and future deductible amounts. Solution 19-106 Temporary differences are differences between the tax basis of an asset or liability and its reported amount in the financial statements that will result in taxable amounts or deductible amounts in future years. Future taxable amounts increase taxable income in future years and cause a deferred tax liability to be recorded. Future deductible amounts decrease taxable income in future years and cause a deferred tax asset to be recorded. Ex. 19-107—Deferred income taxes. Pole Co. at the end of 2013, its first year of operations, prepared a reconciliation between pretax financial income and taxable income as follows: Pretax financial income $ 420,000 Extra depreciation taken for tax purposes (1,050,000) Estimated expenses deductible for taxes when paid 940,000 Taxable income $ 310,000 Use of the depreciable assets will result in taxable amounts of $350,000 in each of the next three years. The estimated litigation expenses of $940,000 will be deductible in 2016 when settlement is expected. Instructions (a) Prepare a schedule of future taxable and deductible amounts. (b) Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense, deferred taxes, and income taxes payable for 2013, assuming a tax rate of 40% for all years.

(a) Describe a deferred tax asset. (b) When should a deferred tax asset be reduced by a valuation allowance? Solution 19-109 (a) A deferred tax asset is the deferred tax consequences attributable to deductible temporary differences and operating loss carryforwards. (b) A deferred tax asset should be reduced by a valuation allowance if, based on all available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. More likely than not means a level of likelihood that is at least slightly more than 50%. Ex. 19-110—Permanent and temporary differences. Listed below are items that are treated differently for accounting purposes than they are for tax purposes. Indicate whether the items are permanent differences or temporary differences. For temporary differences, indicate whether they will create deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. 1. Investments accounted for by the equity method. 2. Advance rental receipts. 3. Fine for polluting. 4. Estimated future warranty costs. 5. Excess of contributions over pension expense. 6. Expenses incurred in obtaining tax-exempt revenue. 7. Installment sales. 8. Excess tax depreciation over accounting depreciation. 9. Long-term construction contracts. 10. Premiums paid on life insurance of officers (company is the beneficiary). Solution 19-110 1. Temporary difference, deferred tax liability. 2. Temporary difference, deferred tax asset. 3. Permanent difference. 4. Temporary difference, deferred tax asset. 5. Temporary difference, deferred tax liability. 6. Permanent difference. 7. Temporary difference, deferred tax liability. 8. Temporary difference, deferred tax liability. 9. Temporary difference, deferred tax liability. 10. Permanent difference. Ex. 19-111—Permanent and temporary differences. Indicate and explain whether each of the following independent situations should be treated as a temporary difference or a permanent difference. (a) For accounting purposes, a company reports revenue from installment sales on the accrual basis. For income tax purposes, it reports the revenues by the installment-sales method, deferring recognition of gross profit until cash is collected. (b) Pretax accounting income and taxable income differ because 80% of dividends received from U.S. corporations was deducted from taxable income, while 100% of the dividends received was reported for financial statement purposes. (c) Estimated warranty costs (covering a three-year warranty) are expensed for accounting purposes at the time of sale but deducted for income tax purposes when paid. Solution 19-111 (a) Temporary difference. This difference in the timing of revenue recognition for pretax financial income and taxable income will initially increase pretax financial income, but will increase taxable income by the amount of deferred gross profits as cash is collected in subsequent years. Assuming the estimate as to collectibility of installment receivables is valid, the total amounts reported as gross profits for accounting purposes and for tax purposes will be equal over the life of a group of installment receivables. The time lag between the accrual for accounting purposes and the recognition for tax purposes will result in credit entries to a company's deferred tax liability as long as installment sales are level or increasing. The credit entries related to particular installment receivables will be "drawn down," or reversed, however, when the receivables are collected. (b) Permanent difference. This difference in pretax financial income and taxable income will never reverse because present tax laws allow a company that owns stock in another U.S. corporation to deduct 80% of the dividends it receives from that company. Taxes will not be paid on the dividends deducted and there are no tax consequences for those dividends, even though they are recognized as income for book purposes. (c) Temporary difference. The full estimated three years of warranty expenses reduce the current year's pretax financial income, but will reduce taxable income in varying amounts each year as paid. Assuming the estimate for each warranty is valid, the total amounts deducted for accounting and for tax purposes will be equal over the three-year period for each warranty. This is an example of an expense that, in the first period, reduces pretax financial income more than taxable income and, in later years, reverses and reduces taxable income without affecting pretax financial income. Ex. 19-112—Temporary differences. There are four types of temporary differences. For each type: (1) indicate the cause of the difference, (2) give an example, and (3) indicate whether it will create a taxable or deductible amount in the future. Solution 19-112 (a) Revenues or gains are taxable after they are recognized in pretax financial income. Examples are installment sales, long-term construction contracts, and the equity method of accounting for investments. They result in future taxable amounts. (b) Revenues or gains are taxable before they are recognized in pretax financial income. Examples are subscriptions received in advance and rents received in advance. They result in future deductible amounts. (c) Expenses or losses are deductible before they are recognized in pretax financial income. Examples are extra depreciation, prepaid expenses, and pension funding in excess of pension expense. They result in future taxable amounts. (d) Expenses or losses are deductible after they are recognized in pretax financial income. Examples are warranty expenses, estimated litigation losses, and unrealized loss on marketable securities. They result in future deductible amounts. Ex. 19-113—Operating loss carryforward. In 2012, its first year of operations, Kimble Corp. has a $700,000 net operating loss when the tax rate is 30%. In 2013, Kimble has $320,000 taxable income and the tax rate remains 30%. Instructions Assume the management of Kimble Corp. thinks that it is more likely than not that the loss carryforward will not be realized in the near future because it is a new company (this is before results of 2013 operations are known). (a) What are the entries in 2012 to record the tax loss carryforward? (b) What entries would be made in 2013 to record the current and deferred income taxes and to recogn
