Southern Atlantic Distributors began operations in January 2021 and purchased a delivery truck for $40,000. Southern Atlantic plans to use straight-line depreciation over a four-year expected useful life for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, the deduction is 45% of cost in 2021, 30% in 2022, and 25% in 2023. Pretax accounting income for 2021 was $460,000, which includes interest revenue of $68,000 from municipal governmental bonds. The enacted tax rate is 25%.
Assuming no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than those described above:
Required:
1. Complete the following table given below and prepare the journal entry to record income taxes in 2021.
2. What is Southern Atlantic’s 2021 net income?

Respuesta :

Answer:

1. Depreciation as per books = Cost of purchase/Useful life

Depreciation as per books = $40,000/4

Depreciation as per books = $10,000

Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = Cost of purchase * Deduction rate

Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $40,000 * 45%

Depreciation as per tax for 2021 = $18,000

Temporary difference = $18,000 - $10,000

Temporary difference = $8,000
