Problem 1
Garrison Designs, Inc., a corporation organized on January 1, 1993, reported the
following incomes (losses) for the ten-year period, 1993-2002:
Year Income (Loss) Income Tax Rate Income Tax Paid
1993 $ 16,000 50% $ 8,000
1994 (40,000) 50 0

2001 80,000 34 27,200
2002 (16,000) 30 0

Applying the carryback provisions in the tax law, compute the net amount of taxes
paid (amounts paid less refunds) for the ten-year period ending December 31,
2002.

Solution 1
LO3
Income taxes paid through December 31, 1998, net to zero because the $40,000
net operating loss in 1994 and the $32,000 net operating loss in 1997 are applied
against the entire income earned for the years 1993, 1995, 1996, and 1998.
Net taxes paid between January 1, 1999, and December 31, 2002, were:

Year Net Taxes Paid


1999 $13,440
2000 (after applying 2002 loss) 16,320

Halverson Company reported taxable income of $60,000 for 2002, its first year of
operations. This amount reflects temporary differences between financial and
taxable income that are scheduled to reverse in subsequent years as shown below.
As of December 31, 2002, the enacted tax rate for 2002 and future years was 40
percent.

Use the provisions of FASB Statement No. 109 and assume that it is more likely
than not that income will be sufficient in all future years to realize any deductible
amounts. Also assume that all the temporary differences relate to noncurrent
items.

Compute the amount of the deferred tax assets and/or liabilities that would be
reported on Halverson's balance sheet as of December 31, 2002.

Solution 8
LO2
Since future tax rates are unchanging and since FASB Statement No. 109
classifies deferred tax assets and liabilities according to the classification of the
underlying items and not the expected time of reversal, no scheduling is necessary
in this case.

Noncurrent deferred tax liability: ($50,000 x 0.40) = $20,000

Assume Ernst Corporation has the following income components on its income
statement. Amounts are before tax.

Test Bank, Intermediate Accounting, 14th ed. 637

Assume further that the tax department has applied the current tax regulations and
rates to Ernst’s various income categories and computed the following tax
information using the “with and without” concept required for intraperiod tax
allocation:

Tax on total income ($38,000)................................................ $14,400


Tax on income from continuing operations ($40,000)........... 16,200
Tax on total income before considering all irregular and
extraordinary losses................................................................ 29,000

The tax department also has computed the following incremental tax benefits and
expenses on each individual gain or loss component:

Incremental tax expense--gain components:


Gain on disposal...................................................... $6,500
Extraordinary gain.................................................... 6,700
Incremental tax benefit--loss components:
Extraordinary loss.................................................... 10,500
Cumulative effect..................................................... 4,600

1. Compute the total tax to be allocated to all income components after income
from continuing operations, the total tax benefit allocated to the two loss categories,
and the total tax expense allocated to the two gain categories.

2. Allocate the total tax benefit and tax expense from (1) to the separate gain and
loss components.

Problem 10
A major conceptual issue associated with interperiod tax allocation is the issue of
discounting the deferred tax amount on the balance sheet to reflect its present
value. Current generally accepted accounting principles do not allow the
discounting of deferred taxes. Some in the profession have suggested, however,
that the FASB should reconsider its position on discounting in light of the Board’s
current project on present value-based measurements in accounting.

Provide arguments for and against the discounting of deferred income taxes.

Solution 10
LO5
Proponents of discounting argue that without discounting the deferred tax asset or
liability, the financial statements fail to indicate the appropriate benefit of the
deferral of taxes or the burden of prepayment of taxes. Dollars related to short-
term deferrals appear to have the same value on the financial statements as
dollars related to longer term deferrals. This inconsistency impairs the
comparability of the financial statements. Discounting would result in temporary
differences that do not reverse until many years in the future being reflected at the

present value of the expected future cash flows. The proponents argue that the
discounting of deferred taxes is consistent with currently generally accepted
accounting principles for long-term notes receivable and payable, pensions, and
leases.

Opponents of discounting argue that discounting results in a mismatching of the full


tax effects of taxable transactions with the transactions themselves. The basic
transaction that results in taxes occurs in one period, and the related tax effects are
recorded in subsequent periods through the recording of interest on the deferred
tax balance. Discounting also tends to conceal the consequences of transactions
because they are hidden in the subsequent interest expense. Opponents further
argue that deferred taxes are an interest free loan from the government thus
eliminating the need for discounting.

Problem 11
A major conceptual issue regarding the accounting for income taxes is the
recognition of income taxes as expenses. Some would argue that income taxes
are not directly related to revenues or revenue-seeking functions and should not be
considered as expenses. Some view income taxes as a distribution of income
similar to dividends. This view would hold that income taxes, like dividends, are
paid only if income is earned. Wages and supplies, on the other hand, are paid for
whether the entity earns a profit or incurs a loss.

Identify arguments that can be made for recognizing income tax as an expense on
the income statement.

Solution 11
LO5
Perhaps the strongest argument for recognizing income taxes as an expense
rather than as a distribution is the fact that the government, like employees or
suppliers, renders a service to the entity. The federal government does not provide
services to an entity in direct proportion to the amount of tax levied, but it does
provide services. Payment of corporate income tax allows an entity to conduct its
business under favorable circumstances such as law, order, and the general
organization of the economy. The federal government contributes to the orderly
functioning of society that allows an enterprise to function and even prosper.
