The company sells its merchandise on an installment contract basis. In $2028,$ 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 $2028.$ These procedures created a $$750,000$ difference between book and taxable incomes. The future collection of the installment contracts receivables are expected to result in taxable amounts of $$375,000$ in each of the next two years.

The company has also chosen to depreciate all of its depreciable assets on an accelerated basis for tax purposes but on a straight$-$line basis for accounting purposes. These procedures resulted in $$90,000$ excess depreciation for tax purposes over accounting depreciation.

Dexter leased some of its property to Baker Company on July $1,2028.$ The monthly rentals were to be $$90,000.$ Baker, however, paid the first year's rent in advance and Dexter reported this entire amount on its tax return. These procedures resulted in a $$540,000$ 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.$)$

Dexter owns bonds issued by the State of Oregon. In $2028,$ Dexter showed $$15,000$ of income from the bonds on its income statement but did not show any of this amou on its tax return. $($Note: these bonds are classified as long$-$term investments on Dexter's balance sheet.$)$

In $2028,$ Dexter insured the lives of its chief executives. The premiums paid amounted to $$18,000$ 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.
