Income tax expense and net income for the year


Problem: The long-term liabilities section of Dayton Inc.’s December 31, 2008, balance sheet included the following:           
           
1. A capital lease liability with 20 remaining lease payments of$12,300 each, due annually on January 1:           

Lease liability                                   $93,555           
Less current portion                             2,945           
                                                      $90,610

The incremental borrowing rate at the inception of the lease was 11.7% and the lessor’s implicit rate, which was known by Dayton Inc., was 10.5%.           
           
2. A deferred income tax liability due to a single temporary difference. The only difference between Dayton Inc.’s taxable income and pretax accounting income is depreciation on a machine acquired on January 1, 2008, for $617,500. The machine’s estimated useful life is five years, with no salvage value.

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method for financial reporting purposes and the MACRS method for tax purposes. Depreciation expense for tax and financial reporting purposes for 2009 through 2012 is as follows:  

Year MACRS Depreciation Straight line Depreciation Difference
2009 197,600 123,500 74,100
2010 118,560 123,500 -4,940
2011 71,136 123,500 -52,364
2012 71,136 123,500 -52,364

The enacted federal income tax rates are 35% for 2008 and 40% for 2009 through 2012. For the year ended December 31, 2009, Dayton Inc.’s income before income taxes was $1,120,000.           
           
3. On July 1, 2009, Dayton Inc. issued $900,000 of 10% bonds. The bonds mature in 20 years and interest is payable each January 1 and July 1. The bonds were issued at a price to yield the investors 12%. Dayton Inc. records interest at the effective interest rate.
