Art is in the 24% marginal tax bracket for 2019. He owes a $10,000 bill for business expenses. Because he reports taxable income

on a cash basis, he can deduct the $10,000 in either 2019 or 2020, depending on when he makes the payment. He can pay the bill at any time before January 31, 2020, without incurring the normal 8% interest charge. If he expects to be in a 32% marginal tax bracket for 2020, he should pay the bill and claim the deduction in 2020 . How much tax saving will Art realize by claiming the deduction in the year you answered above if the present value factor for 1 period at 8% equals 0.926?

Answer:

$740.8

Explanation:

To answer this question the following steps are undertaken

1) We consider the Marginal tax bracket Art falls within. And it becomes obvious that his bracket in 2020 is higher than that of 2019. The implication of this discovery is that claiming expenses in 2020 will save more taxes for Art than in 2019.

2) What is his tax savings in 2020 = $10,000 x (0.32-0.24) = $800

Finally, since the present value of tax savings is 0.926

Then the tax savings to realize for 2020 is

$800 x 0.926 = $740.8

  Cr Cash                    $4,000

(to capitalized the cost of wire electricity and installation to put the purchased machine in a ready-to-use stage).  

Explanation:

- According to the information, all the expenses relating to the purchase of used machine are in cash. Thus, Cash is credited at the total amount of $182,000, in which $178,000 is credited in 2nd January to record the purchased price and the other $4,000 (2,840 + 1,160) is credited in 3rd January.

- Under GAAP, the recorded costs of a purchased fixed asset should included all the costs incurred which are necessary to bring the fixed asset to a ready-to-use stage. As wire electricity cost & cost for securing the machine in its position are all necessary for the machine's operation, these costs should be capitalized.
