2021 2022
Revenues $ 908 $ 988
Expenses 768 804
Pretax accounting income (income statement) $ 140 $ 184
Taxable income (tax return) $ 122 $ 206
Tax rate: 25%

  3. Arndt sells one-year subscriptions to a weekly journal. Subscription sales collected and taxable in 2021 and 2022 were $37 million and $39 million, respectively. Subscriptions included in 2021 and 2022 financial reporting revenues were $29 million ($14 million collected in 2020 but not recognized as revenue until 2021) and $37 million, respectively. Hint: View this as two temporary differencesone reversing in 2021; one originating in 2021.
  4. 2021 expenses included a $18 million unrealized loss from reducing investments (classified as trading securities) to fair value. The investments were sold and the loss realized in 2022.

  6. At January 1, 2021, Arndt had a deferred tax asset of $6 million and no deferred tax liability.
