Revenues $4,372,000
Expenses:
Cost Of Goods Sold ($824,000)
Administrative Costs ( 608,000)
Amortization Expense ( 744,000)
Increase in warranty reserves (128,000)
Other Expenses ( 476,000) ( 2,780,000)
Income Before Tax Expense $1,592,000
Income Tax Expense:
Current ($ 416,000)
Future ( 188,000) ( 604,000)
Net Income $988,000
Other Information:
1. During the year, $32,000 was spent on landscaping for its new facilities. For accounting purposes this was capitalized as an asset. The Company believes the work has an unlimited life and has decided not to amortize this balance.
2. The Company incurred legal costs to make amendments to its articles of incorporation in 2020. These legal costs totalling $16,500 were included in Other Expenses.
3. On January 1, 2020, the Company has UCC balances for its tangible assets as follows:
Class 1 (4% CCA rate) $945,000
Class 14.1 (5% CCA rate) Nil
The Class 1 balance relates to a single building acquired in 2006 at a cost of $600,000 including the surrounding land. The value and cost of the land at the time of acquisition was $50,000. On February 10, 2020, this building and the land are sold for a total of $662,000. The value of the land is unchanged at $50,000. In the accounting records, this real property was carried at $557,000, $507,000 for the building and $50,000 for the land. The resulting gain on the building is included in the accounting revenues.
The old building is replaced on February 15, 2020 with a new building acquired at a cost of $960,000 of which $60,000 is allocated to land. The Company chose not to put the new building into a separate Class 1 so it does not qualify for the 6 percent CCA rate. No elections are made with respect to the replacement of the building.
4. The Company was late on paying some income tax instalments as well as some municipal tax payments, resulting in interest being incurred in the amounts of $780 and $320, respectively. This interest was included in Other Expenses.
5. The Company would like to deduct the maximum CCA allowable for the year.
