Prepare a schedule that shows straight line depreciation from 2016 through 2019.
1 (b)
Explanation of Solution
Straight-line Depreciation: Under the straight-line method of depreciation, the same amount of depreciation is allocated every year over the estimated useful life of an asset. The formula to calculate the depreciation cost of the asset using the residual value is shown as below:
Prepare a schedule that shows straight line depreciation from 2016 through 2019.
Given, the cost of the asset is $60,000 and the estimated useful life is 4 years. So, the straight line depreciation is $15,000
Year | Straight line Depreciation (Financial reporting purpose) |
2016 | $15,000 |
2017 | $15,000 |
2018 | $15,000 |
2019 | $15,000 |

Prepare a schedule that shows the annual depreciation temporary difference from 2016 through 2019.
1 (c)
Explanation of Solution
Temporary Difference: Temporary difference refers to the difference of one income recognized by the tax rules and accounting rules of a company in different periods. Consequently the difference between the amount of assets and liabilities reported in the financial reports and the amount of assets and liabilities as per the company’s tax records is known as temporary difference.
Prepare a schedule that shows the annual depreciation temporary difference from 2016 through 2019:
Year | MACRS Depreciation (Tax purpose) | Straight line Depreciation (Financial reporting purpose) | Temporary difference between annual depreciation |
2016 | $19,998 | $15,000 | $4,998 |
2017 | $26,670 | $15,000 | $11,670 |
2018 | $8,886 | $15,000 | ($6,114) |
2019 | $4,446 | $15,000 | ($10,554) |
Table (3)
Note: The temporary difference of annual depreciation is calculated by subtracting MACRS depreciation (Requirement 1 (a)) and straight line depreciation (Requirement 1 (b)).

EBK INTERMEDIATE ACCOUNTING: REPORTING
- Deferred Tax Liability: Depreciation Gire Company began operations at the beginning of 2019 at which time it purchased a depreciable asset for 60, 000. For 2019 through 2022, the asset was depreciated on the straight-line basis over a 4-year life (no residual value) for financial reporting. For income tax purposes, the asset was depreciated using MACRS (200%, 3-year life). For 2019 through 2022, Gire reported pretax financial income and taxable income of the following amounts (the differences are due solely to the depreciation temporary differences): Over the entire 4-year period, Gire was subject to an income tax of 30%, and no change in the tax rate had been enacted for future years. Required: 1. Prepare a schedule that shows for each year, 2019 through 2022, the (a) MACRS depreciation, (b) straight-line depreciation, (c) annual depreciation temporary difference, and (d) accumulated temporary difference at the end of each year. 2. Prepare Gires income tax journal entry at the end of (a) 2019, (b) 2020, (c) 2021, and (d) 2022. (Round to the nearest dollar.) 3. Prepare the lower portion of Gires income statement for (a) 2019, (b) 2020, (c) 2021, and (d) 2022.arrow_forwardTurnip Company purchased an asset at a cost of 10,000 with a 10-year life during the current year. Turnip uses differing depreciation methods for financial reporting and income tax purposes. The depreciation expense during the current year for financial reporting is 1,000 and for income tax purposes is 2,000. Turnip is subject to a 30% enacted future tax rate. Prepare a schedule to compute Turnips (a) ending future taxable amount, (b) ending deferred tax liability, and (c) change in deferred tax liability (deferred tax expense) for the current year.arrow_forwardAt 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?arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardDeferred Tax Asset and Valuation Account Zeta Corporation reported taxable income for 2019 of 200,000. The enacted tax rate for 2019 is 40%. During 2019, Zeta became the defendant in a lawsuit. The lawsuit has not been resolved at the end of the period, but Zetas lawyers believe that it is probable that the company will be held liable. The legal office estimated that the amount of loss will IK 80,000. AS a result, the lawsuit has been recognized as a contingent liability. However, the legal obligation is not deductible for tax purposes during 2019. The lawsuit represents the only difference between financial income and taxable income for the year. Required: 1. Assume that Zeta Corporation has been quite profitable in past periods and expects to continue that pattern in the future. Record a journal entry to recognize tax expense, tax payable, and deferred tax for 2019. 2. Assume that there is substantial doubt about whether Zeta Corporation will be profitable in future periods. As a result, the company believes that one-half of the future deduction for legal costs will not be realized. Record a journal entry to recognize tax expense, tax payable, and deferred tax for the year. 3. Next Level Explain what circumstances require that a valuation allowance account should be utilized when deferred tax is recognized. How should that account be presented on the financial statements? 4. Prepare your answer to Requirement 2 assuming that Zeta prepares financial statements according to IFRS.arrow_forwardBliss Company owns an asset with an estimated life of 15 years and an estimated residual value of zero. Bliss uses the straight -line method of depreciation. At the beginning of the sixth year, the assets book value is 200,000 and Bliss changes the estimate of the assets life to 25 years, so that 20 years now remain in the assets life. Explain how this change will be accounted for in Blisss financial statements, and compute the current and future annual depreciation expense.arrow_forward
