When does tax allocation within a period become necessary? How should this allocation be handled?

Bobek Inc. has recently reported steadily increasing income. The company reported income of \(20,000 in 2014, \)25,000 in 2015, and \(30,000 in 2016. A number of market analysts have recommended that investors buy the stock because they expect the steady growth in income to continue. Bobek is approaching the end of its fiscal year in 2017, and it again appears to be a good year. However, it has not yet recorded warranty expense.

Based on prior experience, this year’s warranty expense should be around \)5,000, but some managers have approached the controller to suggest a larger, more conservative warranty expense should be recorded this year. Income before warranty expense is \(43,000. Specifically, by recording a \)7,000 warranty accrual this year, Bobek could report an increase in income for this year and still be in a position to cover its warranty costs in future years.

Generally accepted accounting principles usually require the use of accrual accounting to “fairly present” income. If the cash receipts and disbursements method of accounting will “clearly reflect” taxable income, why does this method not usually also “fairly present” income?
