Stephens Company has a deductible temporary difference of \(2,000,000 at the end of its first year of operations. Its tax rate is 40 percent. Stephens has \)1,800,000 of income taxes payable. After a careful review of all available evidence, Stephens determines that it is probable that it will not realize \(200,000 of this deferred tax asset. On Stephens Company’s statement of financial position at the end of its first year of operations, what is the amount of deferred tax asset?

(a) \)2,000,000. (c) \(800,000.

(b) \)1,800,000. (d) $600,000.

Use the information for Rode Inc. given in IFRS19-7. Assume that it is probable that the entire net operating loss carryforward will not be realized in future years. Prepare the journal entry(ies) necessary at the end of 2017.

Kleckner Company started operations in 2013. Although it has grown steadily, the company reported accumulated operating losses of \(450,000 in its first four years in business. In the most recent year (2017), Kleckner appears to have turned the corner and reported modest taxable income of \)30,000. In addition to a deferred tax asset related to its net operating loss, Kleckner has recorded a deferred tax asset related to product warranties and a deferred tax liability related to accelerated depreciation.

Given its past operating results, Kleckner has established a full valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets. However, given its improved performance, Kleckner management wonders whether the company can now reduce or eliminate the valuation allowance. They would like you to conduct some research on the accounting for its valuation allowance.
