Question :1
On 31st December, 2011, Munson Company finished its first year of operations. It has a number of differences between its taxable income and its pretax financial income. It recognizes that its pretax financial income is 220,000, but does not yet identify its taxable income. Munson is subject to a tax rate of 25 % in 2011, and a current tax law change resulted in an enacted tax rate of 32 % for future years. The differences between taxable income and pretax financial income are explained below.
Munson invested in tax-exempt bonds issued by the State of Alabama. Munson recorded and received as income for accounting purposes $7,000 of interest income in 2011.
Depreciation on machinery in 2011 was $28,000 for accounting principles. Munson's tax accountant properly recorded $36,000 of depreciation on Munson's 2011 tax return.
Munson agreed to rent space to Cerone Co. Munson received $12,000 of rent, all of which is subject to tax in 2011. Thus, Munson earned only half of the rent in 2011 (it may earn the other half in 2012), so just half of the payment received is income in the financial statements.
For 2011, Munson accrued $10,000 of bad debt expenditure on its income statement based on the allowance method. Thus, Munson must use the direct write-off method for tax purposes and it did not write off any accounts receivable in 2011.
Required:
i. Evaluate the Munson's taxable income for 2011?
ii. What is existing income tax expense for the year ended 12/31/11?
iii. List any deferred tax assets or/ and liabilities as of 12/31/11, clearly showing for each a dollar amount, whether it is an asset or liability, and whether it is current or long-term.

a. For the year ended 31st December, 1994, its first year in existence, Tyre Co. reported pretax financial statement income of $750,000. Its taxable income was $650,000.

What amount could Tyre report as total deferred tax liabilities or assets as of 12/31/1994 (you must show a dollar amount and, if non-zero, state whether it is an asset or a liability)?
