Answer:

The Answer is explanatory so it is given as under:

Explanation:

<u>Part 1. At the start of the year:</u>

The part of the salary includes $150,000 per year for the next 10 years and this must be recorded as an deferred compensation liability. All we have to do is to calculate the present value of the annual salary payments.

Present Value = Annual Payment * Annuity factor

And for Annuity factor we will use 5% rate of interest.

So

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1-r)^n) / r

Here

r = 5%

n = 10 years

Which means

Annuity Factor = (1 - (1 + 5%)^10)  / 5%   = 7.722

Hence

Present value = $150,000 * 7.722 = $1,158,260

So the journal entry would be as under:

Dr Deferred Compensation expense $1,158,260

Cr    Deferred Compensation Liability $1,158,260

<u>Part 2. At the end of the Year 1:</u>

At the first year end, the annual payment of $1,158,260 will be discounted back by using the following formula:

Discounted Back Amount = Annual Amount * (1- (1+r)^n)

Remember for the first year n is 10, for second n is 9 and so on.

Discounted Back Amount = 150,000 x (1 - 0.614) = $57,913

Dr Deferred Compensation Expense   $57,913

Cr    Deferred Compensation Liability        $57,913

Part 3. And when the first payment of the salary is made, the journal entry would be:

Dr Deferred compensation Liability $ 150,000

Cr                                       Cash Account    $150,000

Likewise we will till the year 10 and will record the part 2 and part 3 until at the end of the year 10, the whole of the deferred tax liability is reduced to zero.

The life insurance policy payments can not be offset against the deferred compensation liability because it will be accounted for as a different transaction and hence must not be treated as Riley desires.

So the Cash surrender value will be treated as an asset and annual increase in this asset would be treated as an income.

On January 1, 2012, Piper Co., purchased a machine (its only depreciable asset) for $600,000. The machine has a five-year life,
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

Piper should report $308,000 as net income for the year . Option C

Explanation:

Accumulated Depreciation till 2014 = [$600,000×(5+4+3)] ÷ 15 = $ 480,000

Book Value at beginning 2015 = $600,000 - $480,000 = $120,000

Depreciation Expense in 2015 = $120,000 ÷ 2 = $60,000

Net Income before depreciation & taxes = $ 500,000

Depreciation = $ 60,000

Electronic Benefits Transfer = Net Income before depreciation & taxes - Depreciation

= $ 500,000  - $ 60,000  

=$ 440000

Tax Expenses = $440,000 × 30% = $132,000

Net Income =$ 308,000
