Textbook Problem

Comprehensive At the beginning of 2019, Norris Company had a deferred tax liability of $6,400, because of the use of MACRS depreciation for income tax purposes and units-of-production depreciation for financial reporting. The income tax rate is 30% for 2018 and 2019, but in 2018 Congress enacted a 40% tax rate for 2020 and future years.

Morris’s accounting records show the following pretax items of financial income for 2019: income from continuing operations, $120,000 (revenues of $352.000 and expenses of $232,000); gain on disposal of Division F, $23,000; loss from operations of discontinued Division F, $10,000; and prior period adjustment, $15,000, due to an error that understated revenue in 2018. All of these items are taxable; however, financial depreciation for 2019 on assets related to continuing operations exceeds tax depreciation by $5,000. Norris had a retained earnings balance of $161,000 on January 1, 2019, and declared and paid cash dividends of $32,000 during 2019.
