QUESTION: 1917

Analysis, Inc. had gross sales of 5,000 last year. Its operating expenses amounted to 339 and cost of goods sold equaled 2,386. Analysis faces a corporate tax rate of 37% and had no other revenues or costs last year.
Its net income after taxes was ________.

1,647
1,433
2,275
1,308

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Analysis' gross profit = gross sales - cost of goods sold = 5,000 - 2,386 = 2,614. The operating expenses are deductible for tax purposes. Hence, pre-tax income equaled 2,614 - 339 = 2,275. Therefore, its after-tax income equals 2,275*(1-0.37) = 1,433.

QUESTION: 1920

A firm using LIFO accounting has a LIFO reserve of 4,700, with a FIFO ending inventory of 34,600. It is currently in the 40% tax bracket. If it switches to FIFO accounting for reporting purposes, it's deferred taxes ________.

decrease by 2,820
increase by 2,820
increase by 1,880
decrease by 1,880

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

When the firm switches from LIFO to FIFO, it must recognize the additional tax liability that arises because the taxes not paid in the past will now have to be paid. This liability equals the LIFO reserve times the current tax rate and must be added to the deferred taxes account (to be completely accurate, you would have to go back all the way to the inception of the firm and recalculate historical taxes. This is never done).
