Based on the provided information, how would I be able to create the journal entries to record the change in plan assets and record the change in the PBO? I understand which accounts to use, but I am having a hard time understanding how much should be credited/debited from each of those accounts. Therefore, if you could show me how you calcuated the numbers to use in those two journal entries, that would be great! Thank you!

Comprehensive Colt Company reports pretax financial income of 143,000 in 2019. In addition to pretax income from continuing operations (of which revenues are 295,000), the following items are included in this pretax income: Colts taxable income totals 93,000 in 2019. The difference between the pretax financial income and the taxable income is due to the excess of tax depreciation over financial depreciation on assets used in continuing operations. At the beginning of 2019, Colt had a retained earnings balance of 310.000 and a deferred tax liability of 8,100. During 2019, Colt declared and paid dividends of 48,000. It is subject to tax rates of 15% on the first 50,000 of income and 30% on income in excess of 50,000. Based on proper interperiod tax allocation procedures, Colt has determined that its 2019 ending deferred tax liability is 14,100. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule for Colt to allocate the total 2019 income tax expense to the various components of pretax income. 2. Prepare Colts income tax journal entry at the end of 2019. 3. Prepare Colts 2019 income statement. 4. Prepare Colts 2019 statement of retained earnings. 5. Show the related income tax disclosures on Colts December 31, 2019, balance sheet.
Gray Companys financial statements showed income before income taxes of 4,030,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and 3,330,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Additional information is as follows: Capital expenditures were 2,800,000 in 2020 and 4,000,000 in 2019. Included in the 2020 capital expenditures is equipment purchased for 1,000,000 on January 1, 2020, with no salvage value. Gray used straight-line depreciation based on a 10-year estimated life in its financial statements. As a result of additional information now available, it is estimated that this equipment should have only an 8-year life. Gray made an error in its financial statements that should be regarded as material. A payment of 180,000 was made in January 2020 and charged to expense in 2020 for insurance premiums applicable to policies commencing and expiring in 2019. No liability had been recorded for this item at December 31, 2019. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflected in Grays financial statements was 7,000 at December 31, 2020, and 97,000 at December 31, 2019. During 2020, 90,000 of uncollectible receivables were written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. In 2019, the provision for doubtful accounts was based on a percentage of net sales. The 2020 provision has not yet been recorded. Net sales were 58,500,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and 49,230,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Based on the latest available facts, the 2020 provision for doubtful accounts is estimated to be 0.2% of net sales. A review of the estimated warranty liability at December 31, 2020, which is included in other liabilities in Grays financial statements, has disclosed that this estimated liability should be increased 170,000. Gray has two large blast furnaces that it uses in its manufacturing process. These furnaces must be periodically relined. Furnace A was relined in January 2014 at a cost of 230,000 and in January 2019 at a cost of 280,000. Furnace B was relined for the first time in January 2020 at a cost of 300,000. In Grays financial statements, these costs were expensed as incurred. Since a relining will last for 5 years, Grays management feels it would be preferable to capitalize and depreciate the cost of the relining over the productive life of the relining. Gray has decided to nuke a change in accounting principle from expensing relining costs as incurred to capitalizing them and depreciating them over their productive life on a straight-line basis with a full years depreciation in the year of relining. This change meets the requirements for a change in accounting principle under GAAP. Required: 1. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, prepare a worksheet reconciling income before income taxes as given previously with income before income taxes as adjusted for the preceding additional information. Show supporting computations in good form. Ignore income taxes and deferred tax considerations in your answer. The worksheet should have the following format: 2. As of January 1, 2020, compute the retrospective adjustment of retained earnings for the change in accounting principle from expensing to capitalizing relining costs. Ignore income taxes and deferred tax considerations in your answer.
Temporary and Permanent Differences Lin has just completed its first year of operations and has a number of differences between its pretax financial income and taxable income. The differences at the end of 2019 are as follows: a. Lin recorded 7,000 of interest revenue on municipal bonds during 2019. b. 15,000 of accrual-basis sales were recognized in income during 2019. They are expected to be received in cash during January 2020. c. Depreciation on machinery totaled 28,000 using straight-line depreciation for financial statements. Lins tax accountant recorded 36,000 of depreciation on the companys tax return. d. Lin was fined 3,000 for violating certain labor laws during 2019. Lin paid the fine during 2019 and agreed to ensure future violations would not occur. e. Bryant Corporation has agreed to rent space from Lin in 2020. In December 2019, Lin received 7,500 from Bryant in advance for rent. f. For 2019, Lin reported 9,500 of warranty expense on its income statement. The companys warranty liability at the end of 2019 was 6,250. Lin expects additional warranty costs to be paid during 2020. Required: 1. For each item, determine if it results in a temporary or permanent difference. If the item results in a temporary difference, determine if it results in a deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability. 2. For each item, determine if it initially results in pretax financial income being greater than or less than taxable income. 3. Next Level Discuss why permanent differences do not impact future periods taxable income and how these differences affect tax rates.
