Problem 2 (12 points):
A. On December 31, 2020, for GAAP purposes, Clubs Inc. reported a balance of $40,000 in a warranty liability for anticipated costs to satisfy future warranty claims. No claims were paid in 2020. Pretax GAAP income is $300,000 and the tax rate is 25%. Assume no other differences between the tax bases and GAAP bases of assets and liabilities, or any beginning balances in deferred tax accounts.
Required:
a. Record the income tax journal entry on December 31, 2020.
    Account
    Dr. ($)
    Cr. ($)
    Current Tax Expense
    75000
    
    DTA
    10000
    
    Tax Payable
    
    85000
Workings:
Taxable Income = $300000 + $40000 = $340000
Income Tax Liability = $340000 * 25% = $85000
Timing Difference = $40000
DTA = $40000 * 25% = $10000
b. Assume that there was a December 31, 2019, balance of $4,000 in the DTA account. Record the income tax journal entry on December 31, 2020.
    Account
    Dr. ($)
    Cr. ($)
    Current Tax Expense
    75000
    
    DTA
    10000
    
    Tax Payable
    
    85000
B. In 2020, Cardinals Company operated at a tax loss, totaling $88,000 during its first year of business. Assuming a tax rate of 25%, and that income is expected in 2021, record the entry to reflect the tax benefit of the net operating loss on December 31, 2020. Cardinals Company determined that it was more likely than not that 75% of the deferred tax asset would not be realized.
    Account
    Dr. ($)
    Cr. ($)
    Current Tax Expense
    22000
    
    DTL
    
    22000
Workings:
Tax Loss = $88000
Tax benefit arising from such tax loss = $88000 * 25% = $22000
Problem 3 (12 points):
Aim Inc. had the following activity for the years 2020-2022.
· Prepaid maintenance contract: $30,000 on January 1, 2020, for a three-year period beginning January 1, 2020
· Deferred rental revenue: $45,000 on January 1, 2020, for a three-year period beginning January 1, 2020
· Pretax GAAP income is $500,000, $388,000, and $425,000 for the years 2020, 2021, and 2022, respectively.
· Enacted tax rates are 25% for years 2020 and 30% for the year 2021 and 2022.
· There were no balances in the deferred tax accounts on January 1, 2020
A.    Compute taxable income for 2020.
Book Profits for 2020 = $500000
Taxable Income = $500000 – 20000 + 30000 = $510000
B.    Prepare the 2020 Journal Entry to record deferred taxes.
    
    Account
