Pertinent information regarding Jorgenson Jewelry summarized as follows: 1. Jorgenson Jewelry Corporation's business address is 262 Shiny Street, Nashville, TN 37203. Its employer identification number is 41-2755278. 2. Jorgenson Jewelry Corporation was incorporated on January 1, 2011. The corporation incurred and paid $14,000 of organization costs on January 1, 2011. These organization costs were expensed in 2011 for financial accounting purposes. For tax purposes, Jorgenson Jewelry properly elected to expense the maximum amount of organization expenses in 2011, and is amortizing the remaining expenses as required. 3. Jerry owns 100 percent of the outstanding common stock; no other class of stock is authorized. Jerry is president of the company. Jerry received a salary of $160,000 in 2015. His Social Security number is 468-53-2853. 4. Jorgenson Jewelry Corporation placed the following assets in service on the date indicated: Page 1 of 5 A. Land and Building: Jorgenson Jewelry purchased land and a building for $400,000 on January 1, 2011. The land and building were placed in service on January 1, 2011. $340,000 of the purchase price was allocated to the building, and $60,000 to the land. Jorgenson Jewelry depreciates the building on a straight-line basis over 40 years for financial accounting purposes. B. Equipment 1: Jorgenson Jewelry purchased equipment (7-year MACRS property) on January 1, 2014 for $80,000. The equipment was placed in service on January 1, 2014. Jorgenson Jewelry depreciates the equipment on a straight-line basis over 10 years for financial accounting purposes. Jorgenson Jewelry uses regular MACRS depreciation for tax purposes. It did not make a section 179 election and elected out of bonus depreciation. Jorgenson Jewelry sold this equipment for $84,000 on December 31, 2015. C. Equipment 2: Jorgenson Jewelry purchased equipment (7-year MACRS property) for $60,000 on January 1, 2015. The equipment was placed in service on January 1, 2015. Jorgenson Jewelry depreciates the equipment on a straight-line basis over 10 years for financial accounting purposes. For tax purposes, Jorgenson Jewelry elected to expense the entire cost of the equipment under section 179. 5. Jorgenson Jewelry uses the accrual method of accounting and reports on a calendar year basis. Inventories are determined using the cost method. The rules of Section 263A do not apply to Jorgenson Jewelry. There is no cost of labor, additional section 263A costs, or other costs included in cost of goods sold. Jorgenson Jewelry's 2015 purchases were $831,800. 6. Jorgenson Jewelry uses the allowance method of accounting for bad debts for financial accounting purposes. It began 2015 with a $4,000 credit balance in the allowance account. During 2015, it wrote off a $600 accounts receivable as uncollectible. On the basis of Jorgenson Jewelry Corporation's year-end accounts receivable, the independent auditors determined that a $700 addition to the bad debt allowance was necessary. As a result, the year-end balance in the allowance is $4,100. 7. Jorgenson Jewelry qualifies for the domestic production activities deduction (DPAD). Assume that all of the corporation's income and expense items are included in qualified production activities income, and all wages are related to qualified production activities. As a result, taxable income before the DPAD is equal to qualified production activities income. 8. On October 1, 2015, Jorgenson Jewelry Corporation declared and paid a $300,000 cash dividend to its shareholder, Jerry Jorgenson. Page 2 of 5 9. Net income per books (before federal income tax) is $586,800. Net income per books (before the final income tax accrual) is $426,800. Jorgenson Jewelry made estimated tax payments of $160,000 ($40,000 per quarter) to the IRS for the calendar year 2015. This amount is sufficient to avoid any potential penalty for underpayment of estimated tax. Jorgenson Jewelry wants any overpayment of federal taxes (if there is any) to be credited to 2016 estimated tax. 10. In calculating the year-end retained earnings balance in the preliminary balance sheet, Jorgenson Jewelry Corporation expensed the $160,000 of federal estimated tax payments (i.e., the amount paid in estimated taxes during the year). In other words, the balance in retained earnings reflects income tax expense on a cash basis. You are required to do the year-end income tax accrual and properly reflect accrual basis net income and income tax expense per books on Schedule M-1. You are also required to finalize the balance sheet. In addition to reflecting the correct balance in retained earnings, your balance sheet should also properly reflect any federal income tax refund or payable and any deferred tax asset or liability. Attach a statement detailing your calculation of federal income tax expense per books and the ending balance in deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability (see item 11). 11. The beginning balance in the deferred tax asset account results from the difference in the book-tax treatment of organization expenses and bad debts (see items 2 and 6). The beginning balance in the deferred tax liability account results from the difference in the book-tax treatment of depreciation. These three items are the only temporary book-tax differences at the beginning of 2015 (there are other temporary differences that arise in 2015). The preliminary balance sheet does not contain any adjustments to the deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability accounts. You are required to calculate the ending balance in the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts. Attach a statement detailing your calculation of the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability to the back of your return.
