Answer:
A. Current income tax expense = $226,950
B. Reconciliation of effective tax rate with hypothetical tax rate gives an effective tax rate of 24.98%.
C. Effective tax rate = 24.98%
D. Deferred income tax expense is $25,500
Explanation:
A. Compute Randolph Company’s current income tax expense.
Current income tax expense = (Pretax net income from continuing operations - Favorable temporary difference relating to depreciation + Unfavorable temporary difference - Favorable permanent difference) * Applicable tax rate = ($1,010,500 - $213,000 + $138,000 - $268,000) * 34% = $226,950
B. Complete the reconciliation of Randolph Company’s effective tax rate with its hypothetical tax rate of 34%
Hypothetical tax rate = Applicable tax rate = 34%
Income tax expense = Pretax net income from continuing operations * Applicable tax rate = $1,010,500 * 34% = $343,570
Tax benefit from Favorable permanent difference = Favorable permanent difference * Applicable tax rate = $268,000 * 34% = $91,120
Income tax provision = Income tax expense - Tax benefit from Favorable permanent difference = $343,570 - $91,120 = $252,450
Rate of tax benefit from Favorable permanent difference = (Tax benefit from Favorable permanent difference / Pretax net income from continuing operations) * 100 = ($91,120 / $1,010,500) * 100 = 9.02%
Therefore, we have reconciliation of effective tax rate with hypothetical tax rate as follows:
Effective tax rate = Hypothetical tax rate - Rate of tax benefit from Favorable permanent difference = 34% - 9.02% = 24.98%
C. Compute Randolph Company’s effective tax rate.
Effective tax rate = (Total income provision / Pretax net income) * 100 ......... (1)
Where:
Total income provision = Current income tax expense + Deferred income tax expense = $226,950 + $25,500 = $252,450
Pretax net income = $1,010,500
Substituting the values into equation (1), we have:
Effective tax rate = ($252,450 / $1,010,500) * 100 = 24.98%
D. Compute Randolph Company’s deferred income tax expense or benefit.
Deferred income tax expense or benefit = (-Favorable temporary difference relating to depreciation + Unfavorable temporary difference) * Applicable tax rate = (-$213,000 + $138,000) * 34% = -$25,500
Since the answer is negative, it implies that it is a Deferred income tax expense of $25,500
