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 end of 2020, Magenta Manufacturing Company discovered that construction cost had been capitalized as a cost of the factory building in 2015 when it should have been treated as a cost of production equipment installation costs. As a result of the misclassification, the depreciation through 2018 was understated by 110,000, and depreciation for 2019 was understated by 90,000. What would be the consequences of correcting for the misclassification of the property cost? a. The taxpayer uses the FIFO inventory method, and 25% of goods produced during the period were included in the ending inventory. b. The taxpayer uses the LIFO inventory method, and no new LIFO layer was added during 2019.
Prior to and during 2019, Shadrach Company reported tax depreciation at an amount higher than the amount of financial depreciation, resulting in a book value of the depreciable assets of 24,500 for financial reporting purposes and of 20,000 for tax purposes at the end of 2019. In addition, Shadrach recognized a 3,500 estimated liability for legal expenses in the financial statements during 2019; it expects to pay this liability (and deduct it for tax purposes) in 2023. The current tax rate is 30%, no change in the tax rate has been enacted, and the company expects to be profitable in future years.

Pending Damage Suit Disclosure On December 15, 2019, a truck driver for Cork Transfer Company negligently rounded a curve that was also a bridge covering several local merchant shops. The truck jumped the guardrail and fell 30 feet onto one of the shops, causing highly flammable chemicals in the truck to explode. Although by February 22, 2020 (the date on which Corks financial statements for 2019 are issued), no claims had been filed against Cork, the companys legal counsel believes it is probable that some will be filed in the future. However, counsel does not believe it can reasonably estimate the amount of these potential claims.

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?
