Plutonic Inc. had $400 million in taxable income for the current year. Plutonic also had an increase in deferred tax liabilities
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Increase of 130 million

Explanation:

In this question, we are looking to evaluate what has happened to change in deferred tax assets. We proceed as follows;

Firstly, we calculate the current tax.

Mathematically = 40% of 400 million = 40/100 * 400 million = 160 million

Now, as we can see in the question, a decrease in deferred tax asset resulted in an increase in tax expense to a tune of $50 million

This brings the total tax expense to 160 million + 50 million = 210 million

We can see from the question that the company has only recognized a tax expense of $80 million.

This means that the change in deferred tax asset was an increase of 210 million- 80 million = $130 million

Depreciation Methods A delivery truck costing $22,000 is expected to have a $2,000 salvage value at the end of its useful life o
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

a. $5,000

b. $5,500

c. $6,000

Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense for the second year is shown below:

a) Straight-line method:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (useful life)

= ($22,000 - $2,000) ÷ (4 years)

= ($20,000) ÷ (4 years)

= $5,000

In this method, the depreciation is same for all the remaining useful life

(b) Double-declining balance method:

First we have to find the depreciation rate which is shown below:

= One ÷ useful life

= 1 ÷ 4

= 25%

Now the rate is double So, 50%

In year 1, the original cost is $22,000, so the depreciation is $11,000 after applying the 50% depreciation rate

And, in year 2, the $11,000 × 50% = $5,500

(c) Units-of-production method:

= (Original cost - residual value) ÷ (estimated production)

= ($22,000 - $2,000) ÷ ($100,000 miles)

= ($20,000) ÷ ($100,000 miles)

= $0.2 per miles

Now for the second year, it would be

= Production units in second year × depreciation per miles

= 30,000 miles × $0.2

= $6,000
