Answer 1

Answer:

Pharoah Corp.

In Pharoah's 2021 income statement, the deferred portion of its provision for income taxes should be:

= $104,800.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Tax rates for 2021 and 2022 = 20%

Tax rates for 2023 and 2024 = 15%

2021 Income Statement Depreciation reported = $1,640,000

2021 Income Tax Depreciation on tax return = $2,476,000

Temporary difference due to depreciation = $836,000 ($2,476,000 - $1,640,000)

Temporary difference due to Accrued Warranty Expense = $312,000

Temporary Differences Reversal:

                    Depreciation Difference       Warranty Expense

2022                      $332,000                               $64,000

2023                        292,000                                104,000

2024                         212,000                                144,000

Total                       $836,000                             $312,000

Deferred Tax Liability (Depreciation Difference) = $167,200 ($836,000 * 20%)

Deferred Tax Asset (Warranty Expense) = $62,400 ($312,000 * 20%)

Deferred portion of provision for income taxes = $104,800 ($167,200 - $62,400)
