In 2015, the initial year of its existence, Dexter Company's accountant, in preparing both the
income statement and the tax return, developed the following list of items causing differences
between accounting and taxable income:
1. The company sells its merchandise on an installment contract basis. In 2015, Dexter
elected, for tax purposes, to report the gross profit from these sales in the years the
receivables are collected. However, for financial statement purposes, the company
recognized all the gross profit in 2015. These procedures created a $500,000 difference
between book and taxable incomes. The future collection of the installment contracts
receivables are expected to result in taxable amounts of $250,000 in each of the next two
years. (Note: the company treats installment contracts receivable as a current asset on its
balance sheet.)
2. The company has also chosen to depreciate all of its depreciable assets
on an acceleratedbasis for tax purposes but on a straight-line basis for accounting purposes. These
procedures resulted in $60,000 excess depreciation for tax purposes over accounting
depreciation. The temporary difference due to excess tax depreciation will reverse equally
over the three year period from 2016-2018.
3. Dexter leased some of its property to Baker Company on July 1, 2015. The lease was to
expire on July 1, 2017 and the monthly rentals were to be $60,000. Baker, however, paid
the first year's rent in advance and Dexter reported this entire amount on its tax return.
These procedures resulted in a $360,000 difference between book and taxable incomes.
(Note: this lease was an operating lease and Dexter classified the unearned rent as a
current liability on its balance sheet.)
4. Dexter owns $200,000 of bonds issued by the State of Oregon upon which 5% interest is
paid annually. In 2015, Dexter showed $10,000 of income from the bonds on its income
statement but did not show any of this amount on its tax return. (Note: these bonds are
classified as long-term investments on Dexter's balance sheet.)
5. In 2015, Dexter insured the lives of its chief executives. The premiums paid amounted to
$12,000 and this amount was shown as an expense on the income statement. However, this
amount was not deducted on the tax return. The company is the beneficiary.
