Rex loves to work with his hands and is very good at making smali figurines. Three years ago, Rex opened Bronze Age Miniatures (BAM) for business as a sole proprietorship. BAM produces miniature characters ranging from sci-fi characters (his favorite) to historical characters like George Washington (the most popular). Business has been going very well for him, and he has provided the following information relating to his business. a. Rex recelved approval from the IRS to switch from the cash method of accounting to the accrual method of accounting effective January 1 of this year. At the end of last year, BAM reported accounts receivable that had not been included in income under the accrual method of $17,100 and accounts payable that had not been deducted under the accrual method of $9,400. b. In March, BAM sold 9,650 miniature historical figures to History R Us Incorporated (HRU), a retailer of historical artifacts and figurines, for $221,950. c. HRU was so impressed with the figurines that it purchased in March that it wanted to contract with BAM to continue to produce the figurines for them for the next three years. HRU paid BAM $427,680 ( $20 per figurine) on October 30 of this year to produce 594 figurines per month for 36 months beginning on November 1 of this year. BAM delivered 594 figurines on November 30 and again on December 30. Rex elects to use the deferral method to account for the transaction. d. Though the sci-fi figurines were not quite as popular, BAM sold 491 figurines at a sci-fi convention in April. Rex accepted cash only and recelved $17,185 for these sales. e. In January, BAM determined that it would not be able to collect on $3,000 of its beginning-of-the-year receivables, so it wrote off $3,000 of specific recelvables. BAM sold 118,000 other figurines on credit for $236,000. BAM estimates that it will be unable to collect 5 percent of the sales revenue from these sales, but it has not been able to specifically identify any accounts to write off. 4. Assume that BAM correctly determined that its cost of goods sold using an appropriate inventory method is $158,120 this year. 9. The scl-fi convention in April was held in Chicago, Ilinois. Rex attended the convention because he felt it was a good opportunity to gain new customers and to get new ideas for figurineq. He paid $430 round-trip airfare, $118 for entrance to the convention, $292 for lodging, $96 for cab fare, and $208 for meals during the trip. He was busy with business activities the entire trip. h. On August 1, BAM purchased a 12-month insurance policy that covers its business property for accidents and casualties through July 31 of next year. The policy cost BAM $5,880. i. BAM reported depreciation expense of $6,200 for this year. 1. Rex had previously operated his business out of his garage, but in January he decided to rent a larger space. He entered into a j. Rex had previously operated his business out of his garage, but in January he decided to rent a larger space. He entered into a lease agreement on February 1 and paid $18,120 ( $1,510 per month) to possess the space for the next 12 months (February of this year through January of next year). k. Before he opened his doors for business, Rex spent $32,000 investigating and otherwise getting ready to do business. He expensed $5,000 immediately and is amortizing the remainder using the straight-line method over 180 months. L. In December, BAM agreed to a 12 -month, $10,550 contract with Advertise-With-Us (AWU) to produce a radio ad campaign. BAM paid $3,300 up front (in December of this year), and AWU agreed that BAM would owe the remaining $7,250 only if BAM's sales increased by 15 percent over the 9 -month period after the contract was signed. n. In November of this year, BAM paid \$2,700 in business property taxes (based on asset values) covering the period December 1 of this year through November 30 of next year. In November of last year, BAM paid $1,700 for business property taxes (based on asset values) covering the period December 1 of last year through November 30 of this yeat: Required: Calculate the business taxable income for BAM assuming that BAM elects to account for its inventory of miniatures.
