a larger amount of depreciation expense shown on the income statement than on the tax return in the last year of the asset's useful life. (Depreciation expense under an accelerated depreciation method will be larger in the early years of an asset's life and smaller in the later years. When compared to depreciation expense calculated under the straight-line method, the expense calculated under the accelerated method will be greater in the early years and less in the later years of an asset's useful life.)

The use of accelerated depreciation for tax purposes and straight-line depreciation for accounting purposes results in: A. a larger amount of depreciation expense shown on the tax return than on the income statement over the asset's useful life. B. the asset being fully depreciated for tax purposes in half the time it takes to become fully depreciated for accounting purposes. C. a larger amount of depreciation expense shown on the income statement than on the tax return in the last year of the asset's useful life. D. a loss on the sale of the asset in question if it is sold for its book value before its useful life expires.

B. decrease in taxes payable in previous years as a result of cumulative temporary differences. C. increase in taxes saved in future years as a result of deductible temporary differences. D. decrease in taxes saved in future years as a result of deductible temporary differences.

based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes.

The current amount of a deferred tax liability should generally be a. the net deferred tax consequences of temporary differences that will result in net taxable amounts during the next year. b. totally eliminated from the financial statements if the amount is related to a noncurrent asset. c. based on the classification of the related asset or liability for financial reporting purposes. d. the total of all deferred tax consequences that are not expected to reverse in the operating period or one year, whichever is greater.

temporary differences reverse themselves in subsequent accounting periods, whereas permanent differences do not reverse.

Also, permanent differences do not change in status with the passage of time.)

A major distinction between temporary and permanent differences is a. permanent differences are not representative of acceptable accounting practice. b. temporary differences occur frequently, whereas permanent differences occur only once. c. once an item is determined to be a temporary difference, it maintains that status; however, a permanent difference can change in status with the passage of time. d. temporary differences reverse themselves in subsequent accounting periods, whereas permanent differences do not reverse.

A (A company can only carry the net operating loss forward indefinitely. In the past (as described in appendix 19B) the correct answer would have been (B), a company could carry the net operating loss back two years and receive refunds for income taxes paid in those years. The loss was then applied to the earliest year first and then subsequently to the second year. Any loss remaining after the two-year carryback could have been carried forward up to 20 years to offset future taxable income. A company was also able elect the loss carryforward only, offsetting future taxable income up to 20 years.)

A net operating loss occurs for tax purposes in a year when tax-deductible expenses exceed taxable revenues. Under certain circumstances the federal tax laws permit taxpayers to use the losses of one year to offset the profits of other years. For what period of time can net operating losses be offset against prior or future years' profits?

Ewing Company sells household furniture. Customers who purchase furniture on the installment basis make payments in equal monthly installments over a two-year period, with no down payment required.

For income tax purposes, however, the installment method is used. There are no other book and income tax accounting differences, and Ewing's income tax rate is 30%. If Ewing's December 31, 2013, balance sheet includes a deferred tax liability of $450,000 arising from the difference between book and tax treatment of the installment sales, it should also include installment accounts receivable of a. $3,750,000. b. $1,500,000. c. $1,125,000. d. $450,000.

$0 (Temporary differences are differences which exist between taxable income and accounting income. These differences originate in one period and reverse in one or more subsequent periods. Temporary differences are used to measure deferred income taxes. However, the items noted in this question are permanent differences. Permanent differences affect either accounting income or tax income, but not both, so they do not result in deferred income taxes.)

D (In the journal entry, income tax expense is increased in the current period because a favorable tax benefit is not expected to be realized for a portion of the deductible temporary difference. A valuation account is simultaneously established to recognize the reduction in the carrying amount of the deferred tax asset.)

Gleim Inc. has a deductible temporary difference of $100,000 at the end of its first year of operations. Its tax rate is 40%. Income taxes payable are $90,000. Gleim properly recorded a deferred tax asset.

$275,000. (Income - Tax Expense = Net Income; $500,000 - $225,000 = $275,000. The tax expense is $225,000, which is reported on the income statement. Due to the temporary difference the company's tax liability is only $90,000 ($200,000 × .45). Thus, Deferred Income Taxes would be credited for $135,000 ($225,000 - $90,000) due to the temporary difference.)

$34,000. (The $1,600 difference between tax expense and tax liability is caused by the warranty expense. Because the tax liability is greater by $1,600, the amount of warranty expense charged on the tax return was smaller than the $38,000 charged against accounting income. We also know that 40% of the difference between warranty expense and the warranty payments actually made is $1,600. Thus, the total difference is $4,000 ($1,600 ÷ .40). The amount actually paid this year on the Company's warranty was $34,000 ($38,000 - $4,000).)
