The financial statements of ABC Corporation, a retail chain, reveal the information for income taxes shown in Exhibit 2.15. REQUIRED a. Assuming that ABC had no significant permanent differences between book income and taxable income, did income before taxes for financial reporting exceed or fall short of taxable income for 2013? Explain. b. Did income before taxes for financial reporting exceed or fall short of taxable income for 2014? Explain. c. Will the adjustment to net income for deferred taxes to compute cash flow from operations in the statement of cash flows result in an addition or a subtraction for 2013? For 2014? d. ABC does not contract with an insurance agency for property and liability insurance; instead, it self-insures. ABC recognizes an expense and a liability each year for financial reporting to reflect its average expected long-term property and liability losses. When it experiences an actual loss, it charges that loss against the liability. The income tax law permits self-insured firms to deduct such losses only in the year sustained.

Suggest reasons for the direction of the change in amounts for this deferred tax asset between 2012 and 2014. e.

Suggest reasons for the direction of the change in amounts for these deferred tax items between 2012 and 2014. g. Firms must recognize expenses related to uncollectible accounts when they recognize sales revenues, but claim an income tax deduction when they deem a particular customers accounts uncollectible. Why are deferred taxes related to this item disclosed as a deferred tax asset? Suggest reasons for the direction of the change in amounts for this deferred tax asset between 2012 and 2014. h. ABC uses the straight-line depreciation method for financial reporting and accelerated depredation methods for income tax purposes. Why are deferred taxes related to depreciation disclosed as a deferred tax liability? Suggest reasons for the direction of the change in amounts for this deferred tax liability between 2012 and 2014.arrow_forwardCuneo Companys income statements for the last 3 years are as follows: Refer to the information for Cuneo Company above.
