However, the bookkeeping staff did NOT record the following transactions and adjustments because staff members were unsure about the appropriate accounting treatment:
(1) On April 1, 2012, Numo issued a five-year, $400,000, non-interest bearing note to the venture capital firm and received $248,368 in cash, which reflects a 10% market yield.
For financial statement purposes, interest expense is recognized using the effective interest rate method. However, for tax purposes, interest expense will be computed usng the straight-line method.
HINT - In addition to the 4/1/12 transaction, be sure to record the required adjusting entry to record interest expense as of 12/31/12
(2) In 2012, the company was accused of patent infringement. While the company is contesting the case, management believes that there is a probably loss of between $6,000 and $40,000. This loss has NOT been recorded.
HINT - Record the appropriate loss. This accrued liability should be considered a current liability. Also, remember that the loss is not deductible until paid.
(3) During the last quarter of the year, Numo found that inventory originally costing $10,000 had become obsolete and was no longer saleable. However, Numo has made the decision to temporarily retain the goods to see if a buyer can be found. For tax purposes, the cost of obsolete inventory can not be deducted on the tax return until the goods are actually disposed of. Obsolete inventory is considered to be a "normal" part of the overall business operations.
(4) The company has not yet recorded an allowance for doubtful accounts. Based on experience, bad debt expense should be 2% of sales. You can assume that the balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts as of 12/31/11 was zero.
Required:
A. Record appropriate transactions and adjusting entries as described above.
B. Partially prepare a multiple-step Income Statement (through Income before Income Taxes) in accordance with GAAP.
C. Record Income tax Expense for 2012. The tax rate is 25% for all years. You have learned that the company's interest revenue is tax-exempt since it was earned on municipal bonds. In addition to the temporary differences described above, you have identified that a temporary difference exists for depreciation. As of 12/31/2011, there is a cumulative difference between "tax depreciation and "financial statement depreciation" that amounts to $24,000. In 2012, tax depreciation was $28,000 and book depreciation (already recorded - see trial balance) was $22,000. You may assume that all deferred tax assets, if any, will be realized.
Then record the tax effect of the discontinued operation. You can assume that the discontinued operation is taxable on this year's tax return.
D. Complete your Income Statement. Be sure that it contains all items that are required by GAAP. You do NOT need to show Earnings Per Share data.
E. Prepare a classified Balance Sheet in accordance with GAAP.
F. Prepare the Footnote for Income Taxes.
NOTE - This is a graded assignment. You are allowed to discuss this case with other students. However, each student is required to prepare their own solution.
