Problem 1 [TTD-AR] ABC's tax accounting methods and GAAP accounting methods are the same except for the method used to account for earned but uncollected service revenues. Per GAAP, ABC accrues these revenues (debit accounts receivable, credit sales revenue). Per tax rules, ABC is taxed on these revenues when the customer pays on account. In other words, services revenues are recognized on the accrual basis for GAAP and the cash basis for tax. ABC reports pretax GAAP earnings of $100,000 for the 12 months ended December 31, 2020. ABC's accounts receivable (relating to accrued service revenues) was $20,000 at December 31, 2019 and $30,000 at December 31, 2020. Embedded in pretax GAAP earnings is interest revenue of $2,000 earned on bonds issued by the State of Texas. Required 1.
