Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Hawkins Inc.

For 2017, the amount of income taxes payable for Hawkins Inc. is:

= $572,600.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

2017 tax rate = 35%

Pre-tax accounting income =   $1,800,000

2018 Rent from Barrett Co.            64,000

Less:

Exempt Municipal bond income  (80,000)

Tax Depreciation (in excess of

 book depreciation)                     (40,000)

2018 Installment sales revenue (108,000)

Adjusted taxable income       $1,636,000

Income tax (35%)                        572,600 (35% of $1,636,000)

Tax expense (provision)             630,000 (35% of $1,800,000)

b) The difference between the income tax payable of $572,600 and the provision for income tax expense for the year of $630,000 is due to temporary differences and exempt Municipal bond income.  The temporary differences are caused by the different timings of the recognition of revenue and expenses under the tax jurisdiction and the GAAP accounting.

Why should employees be wary of participating in the grapevine in a business
Kaylis [27]

Although the grapevine supplements what formal communication does not provide sometimes, and creates a sense of unity among employees, they should be wary due it carries partial information and it's more based on rumors; so it's not always trustworthy, especially when it comes to business, because important decisions depend on reliable sources to ensure favorable outcomes.
