1. Accounting for Income Taxes (52 points) Libertines, Inc. began 2018 with the following balances in deferred tax accounts: The deferred tax asset results from a balance of $200,000 in Warranty Liability. The deferred tax liability results from the financial accounting bases of depreciable assets exceeding the tax bases of depreciable assets by $150,000 due to excess MACRS depreciation over straight-line in previous years and an Installment Receivable of $40,000 that will be collected upon and taxed in 2018. Pre-tax accounting income in 2018 and 2019 is $60,000 and $120,000, respectively and includes non-taxable municipal bond interest of $40,000 in 2018 and $50,000 in 2019. During 2018 straight-line (financial) depreciation exceeded MACRS (tax) by $30,000. In 2019, MACRS (tax) depreciation exceeded straight-line depreciation by $40,000. In 2018 , Libertines received $20,000 in deferred (unearned) revenue which will be earned evenly over 2019 and 2020 . In 2018 , Libertines incurred actual costs to repair products associated with warranties of $400,000, though warranty expense was $250,000. For 2019 , warranty expenses totaled $420,000 and costs to repair incurred under warranty were $400,000. At the end of 2018, management estimated that the DTA - Valuation Allowance account should have a balance of $5,000. Libertines' management decided that at the end of 2019 , the valuation allowance should be 5% of the Deferred Tax Asset balance. The tax rate was 35\% for 2017 and 2018, but during 2018 the U.S. Congress changed the applicable tax rate to 21% for 2019 and all subsequent years. In the event of a net operating loss, use the new tax rule under the TCJA related to NOLs: NOL carry forward and 80% limitation. Required: (a) Calculate taxable income for 2018 and 2019.
