Answer: option 3

Explanation:

Background to the case:

The cases involving the explosion of Ford Pinto's due to a defective fuel system design led to the debate of many issues, most centering around the use by Ford of a cost-benefit analysis and the ethics surrounding its decision not to upgrade the fuel system based on this analysis.

Basis of analysis:

Should a risk/benefit analysis be used in situations where a defect in manufacturing could lead to seriously bodily harm and even worse death, such as in the Ford Pinto situation?

Rule of the court:

There hasn’t really been a definite decision about the case and arguments both for and against such an analysis have been made. It is an economically efficient method which has been accepted by courts for numerous years, however, juries may not always agree, so companies should take this into account.

Discretion is expected to be used.

Income from installment sales of properties included in pretax accounting income in 2021 exceeded that reported for tax purposes
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

1. Taxable income = $76 million

2.  Net income = $65.25 million

3-a. Net current Deferred Tax Asset = $1.95 million

3-b. Net current Deferred Tax Liability = $6.25 million

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.

The explanation of the answers I now provided as follows:

1. Determine the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2021, and prepare the appropriate journal entry.

1-a. Note: See the attached excel file for the determination of the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2021 and the taxable income.

From the attached excel file, we have:

Taxable income = $76 million

1-b. The journal entries will look as follows:

<u>Details                                                       Debit ($'m)             Credit ($'m)     </u>

Tax expense (6.75 + 19 - 3)                           22.75

Deferred tax asset (25% * (1 + 13 - 2))             3.00

Deferred tax liability (25% * (7 + 20))                                              6.75

Tax payable (25% * 76)                                                                   19.00

<u><em>(To record tax expense.)                                                                                 </em></u>

2. What is the 2021 net income?

This can be determined as follows:

Net income = Pretax accounting income - Tax expense = $88 million - $ 22.75 million = $65.25 million

3. Show how any deferred tax amounts should be classified and reported in the 2021 balance sheet.

3-a. The deferred tax amounts should be classified as follows.

From installment receivable in point (a) in the question:

Current deferred tax liability in 2022 (25%* ($4  / 2)) = $1

Noncurrent deferred tax liability in 2023 (25%* ($4 / 2)) = $1

From the depreciation in point (c.) in the question:

Noncurrent deferred tax liability (25%* ((24 + 24) - (14 + 7))) = $6.75

From the Warranty Expense/Payable in point (d.) of the question:

Current deferred tax asset (40%* 3) = $1.20

From the Acrrued Expense/Payable in point (e.) of the question:

Current deferred tax asset (25%* 7) = $1.75

Noncurrent deferred tax liability (25% * $6) = $1.50

3-b. These will be reported reported in the 2021 balance sheet as follows:

Sherrod, Inc.,

Balance Sheet (Partial)

As the Year Ended 31 December, 2021

<u>Details                                                                         $'Million    </u>

<u>Assets:</u>

Current Deferred Tax Asset (1.20 + 1.75)                      2.95

Current Deferred Tax Liability                                     <u> -1.00  </u>

Net current Deferred Tax Asset                                <u>   1.95  </u>

<u>Liabilities:</u>

Noncurrent Deferred Tax Asset (A)                              1.50

Noncurrent Deferred Tax Liabiity (1.0 + 6.75) (B)      <u>   7.75  </u>

Net current Deferred Tax Liability (C = B - A)       <u>    6.25   </u>
