Kleckner Company started operations in 2013. Although it has grown steadily, the company reported accumulatedoperating losses of \(450,000 in its first four years in business. In the most recent year (2017), Kleckner appears to haveturned the corner and reported modest taxable income of \)30,000. In addition to a deferred tax asset related to its net operatingloss, Kleckner has recorded a deferred tax asset related to product warranties and a deferred tax liability related to accelerateddepreciation. Given its past operating results, Kleckner has determined that it is not probable that it will realize any of thedeferred tax assets. However, given its improved performance, Kleckner management wonders whether there are any accountingconsequences for its deferred tax assets. They would like you to conduct some research on the accounting for recognitionof its deferred tax asset.

Explain the difference between pretax financial income and taxable income.

The asset-liability approach for recording deferred income taxes is an integral part of generally accepted accounting principles.

Instructions (a) Indicate whether each of the following independent situations should be treated as a temporary difference or as a permanent difference, and explain why. (1) Estimated warranty costs (covering a 3-year warranty) are expensed for financial reporting purposes at the time of sale but deducted for income tax purposes when paid. (2) Depreciation for book and income tax purposes differs because of different bases of carrying the related property, which was acquired in a trade-in. The different bases are a result of different rules used for book and tax purposes to compute the basis of property acquired in a trade-in. (3) A company properly uses the equity method to account for its 30% investment in another company. The investee pays dividends that are about 10% of its annual earnings. (4) A company reports a gain on an involuntary conversion of a nonmonetary asset to a monetary asset. The company elects to replace the property within the statutory period using the total proceeds so the gain is not reported on the current year’s tax return.

Dexter Company appropriately uses the asset-liability method to record deferred income taxes. Dexter reports depreciation expense for certain machinery purchased this year using the modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) for income tax purposes and the straight-line basis for financial reporting purposes. The tax deduction is the larger amount this year. Dexter received rent revenues in advance this year. These revenues are included in this year’s taxable income. However, for financial reporting purposes, these revenues are reported as unearned revenues, a current liability. Instructions (b) How would Dexter account for the temporary differences?
