additional information to help you with this assignment:

Intercompany sales: For purposes of the intercompany sales between the two entities. Assuming Ts gross profit ratio for its sales to Flying Gator is the same 44% ($550,000 $1,250,000) gross profit ratio for all its sales, the gross receipts and cost of goods sold associated with the deferred gross profits from the intercompany inventory sales are as follows: Deferred from preceding year to current year: Gross profit = $40,700; gross receipts 0.44 = $92,500 Cost of goods sold = $92,500 - $40,700 = $51,800 Deferred from current year to next year: Gross profit = $45,100; gross receipts 0.44 = $102,500 Cost of goods sold = $102,500 $45,100 = $57,400 Current-year net adjustments Gross receipts: $92,500 $102,500 = $(10,000) Cost of goods sold: $(51,800) $(57,400) = $5,600. The two amounts are negative because cost of goods sold reduces gross profit.

Dividend Exclusion: Exclusion of dividend T pays to Flying Gator. Adjustment is needed because the dividends are included in Flying Gators separate taxable income calculation.

Matching rule with respect to intercompany interest: Under the matching rule, Flying Gators interest income is matched with Ts interest expense. The group includes Ts interest expense on Line 18, and it includes Flying Gators interest income on Line 5.

Capital gain income: ($3,000) NSTCL + $6,000 NLTCG + $20,000 net Sec. 1231 gain = $23,000 Ts capital gain net income.

Loss on intercompany transaction: The $9,000 loss on Flying Gators land sale to T is deferred under the intercompany transaction rules.

There is Charitable contribution deduction limitation that must be calculated:

Dividends-received deduction and intercompany dividends You must calculate the dividends received deduction. A dividends-received deduction is not allowed for the $100,000 dividend T pays to Flying Gator because it is excluded from consolidated income.

C:8-68 TAX FORM/RETURN PREPARATION PROBLEM Flying Gator Corporation and its 100%-owned subsidiary, T Corporation, have filed consoli- dated tax returns for many years. Both corporations use the hybrid method of accounting and the calendar year as their tax year. During 2020 (which is the current year for this problem), they report the operating results as listed in Table C:8-2. Note the following additional information: Flying Gator and T Corporations are the only members of their controlled group. Flying Gator's address is 2101 W. University Ave., Gainesburg, FL 32611. Its employer identification number is 38-2345678. Flying Gator was incorporated on June 11, 2008. Its total assets are $430,000. A $50,000 consolidated NOL carryover from the preceding year is available. The NOL is wholly attributable to Flying Gator. Flying Gator and T use the first-in, first-out (FIFO) inventory method. T began selling inventory to Flying Gator in the preceding year, which resulted in a $40,700 deferred intercompany profit at the end of the preceding year. Flying Gator is deemed to realize this profit in the current year because it uses the FIFO method. During the current year, T sells additional inventory to Flying Gator, realizing a $300,000 profit. At the end of the current year, Flying Gator holds inventory responsible for $45,100 of this profit. Flying Gator receives all its dividends from T. T receives all its dividends from a 60%- owned domestic corporation. All distributions are from E&P. Flying Gator receives all its interest income from T. T pays Flying Gator the interest on March 31 of the current year on a loan that was outstanding from October 1 of the preceding year through March 31 of the current year. Flying Gator and T did not accrue any interest at the end of the preceding year because they use the hybrid method of accounting. T pays $5,000 of its interest expense to a third party.
