Question:

Use the information for Sorpon Corporation in E18.12. Assume that the company reports accounting income of $180,000 in each of 2021 and 2022, and that there are no reversing differences other than the one identified in E18.12. In addition, assume now that Sorpon Corporation was informed on December 31, 2021, that the enacted rate for 2022 and subsequent years is 25%. 


Instructions 

a. Calculate the deferred tax balances at December 31, 2021 and 2022. 

b. Calculate taxable income and income tax payable for 2021 and 2022. 

c. Prepare the journal entries to record income taxes for 2021 and 2022. 

d. Prepare the income tax expense section of the income statements for 2021 and 2022, beginning with the line “Income before income tax.”


Data From E18.12.

Sorpon Corporation purchased equipment very late in 2020. Based on generous capital cost allowance rates provided in the Income Tax Act, Sorpon Corporation claimed CCA on its 2020 tax return but did not record any depreciation because the equipment was being tested. This temporary difference will reverse and cause taxable amounts of $25,000 in 2021, $30,000 in 2022, and $40,000 in 2023. Sorpon's accounting income for 2020 is $200,000 and the tax rate is 30% for all years. There are no deferred tax accounts at the beginning of 2020.
