Petes Petroleum, Inc., an SEC registrant with a calendar year-end, is in the business of constructing and operating offs] lore oil platforms. Petes Petroleum is required legally to dismantle and remove the platforms at the end of their useful lives, which is estimated to be 10 years. On January 1, 2019, Pete constructed and began operating an offshore oil platform off the coast of Brazil. The total capitalized cost to construct the platform was 3,700,000. In addition, while the future cost of dismantling the oil platform is difficult to estimate, Pete believes there is a 40% chance that the future cost will be 1,425,000, a 40% chance it will be 1,650,000, and a 20% chance that it will cost 2,125,000. The appropriate discount rate is 12%, and Pete uses the straight-line method of depreciation. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entries that Pete should record in 2019 related to the oil platform. 2. Prepare an amortization schedule for the asset retirement obligation. 3. Next Level Prepare a table showing the effect of accounting for the asset retirement obligation on assets, liabilities, shareholders equity, and net income relative to accounting for the associated costs at the end of the assets service life when the expenditure is made.
At the beginning of 2019, Conley Company purchased an asset at a cost of 10,000. For financial reporting purposes, the asset has a 4-year life with no residual value and is depreciated by the straight-line method beginning in 2019. For tax purposes, the asset is depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. Prior to 2019, Conley had no deferred tax liability or asset. The difference between depreciation for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes is the only temporary difference between pretax financial income and taxable income. The current income tax rate is 30%, and no change in the tax rate has been enacted for future years. In 2019 and 2020, taxable income will be higher or lower than financial income by what amount?
