Financial Report:deferred tax assets

If the company had used the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method instead of last-in, first-out (LIFO), its 2014 net income would most likely have been:

A、 $9,000 higher.

B 、$21,000 higher.

C、 $30,000 lower.

【Answer to question 1】C

【analysis】

C is correct. A decrease in the tax rate will result in a decrease in the previously reported amounts of deferred tax assets. That is, the value of the future tax assets, based on the new lower rate, is reduced for offsetting future tax payments.

A is incorrect. The change would affect not only the current year’s reported income tax expense but also any amounts previously established on the balance sheet.

B is incorrect. The value of the future benefits decreases, not increases.

【Answer to question 2】B

【analysis】

B is correct

Financial Report:deferred tax assets

If an increase in the LIFO reserve occurs, LIFO COGS will be higher than FIFO by the amount of the increase. With a lower COGS under FIFO, pretax income will be higher by $30,000. With a lower COGS under FIFO, after-tax income will be higher by $30,000 × (1 – 0.30) = $21,000.

A is incorrect. Tax rate × change in LIFO reserve = 0.30 × ($450,000 – $420,000) = $9,000

C is incorrect. Change in the LIFO reserve = $450,000 – $420,000 = $30,000

成功=時間+方法，自制力是這個等式的保障。世上無天才，高手都是來自刻苦的練習(xí)。而人們經(jīng)常只看到“牛人”閃耀的成績，其成績背后無比寂寞的勤奮。小編相信，每天都在勤奮練習(xí)，即使是一點點的進(jìn)步，大家一定可以成為人人稱贊的“牛人”。
