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

and no salvage value. Sum-of-the-years'-digits depreciation has been used for financial statement reporting and the elective straight-line method for income tax reporting. Effective January 1, 2015, for financial statement reporting, Piper decided to change to the straight-line method for depreciation of the machine. Assume that Piper can justify the change.
Piper's income before depreciation, before income taxes, and before the cumulative effect of the accounting change (if any), for the year ended December 31, 2015, is $500,000. The income tax rate for 2015, as well as for the years 2012-2014, is 30%.
Required:
A) What amount should Piper report as net income for the year ended December 31, 2015?
O $120,000
O $182,000
O $308,000

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

Answer:

The correct answer is budget slack.

Explanation:

Budget slack occurs in a company when one or more people with budgetary responsibility create a budget that overestimates expenses and / or underestimates projected income or income.

Intentional budget slack can occur because a manager feels under the weapon to "make their numbers", often in response to previous quarters where revenues fell below projections and, more importantly, did not meet expectations of the owners or shareholders.
