- Tuttle Construction Co. specializes in building replicas of historic houses. Tim Newman, president of Tuttle Construction, is considering the purchase of various items of equipment on July 1, 2014, for 400,000. The equipment would have a useful life of five years and no residual value. In the past, all equipment has been leased. For tax purposes, Tim is considering depreciating the equipment by the straight-line method. He discussed the matter with his CPA and learned that, although the straight-line method could be elected, it was to his advantage to use the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) for tax purposes. He asked for your advice as to which method to use for tax purposes. 1. Compute depreciation for each of the years (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019) of useful life by (a) the straight-line method and (b) MACRS. In using the straight-line method, one-half years depreciation should be computed for 2014 and 2019. Use the MACRS rates presented in Exhibit 9. 2. Assuming that income before depreciation and income tax is estimated to be 750,000 uniformly per year and that the income tax rate is 40%, compute the net income for each of the years 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 if (a) the straight-line method is used and (b) MACRS is used. 3. What factors would you present for Tims consideration in the selection of a depreciation method?arrow_forwardEntity XYZ acquires a machine for CU100,000. The machine has an estimated useful life of 5 years and zero salvage value. For tax purposes, however, the useful life is 4 years. Net income before taxes equals CU110,000 each year. Every year XYZ has tax-free revenues CU10,000. The statutory tax rate is 20%. Required: 1. Calculate the current tax, the tax expense, and the deferred tax asset or liability for each year. 2. Calculate the effective tax rate and the current tax rate and comment on them.arrow_forwardPopeye Company purchased a machine for $340,000 on January 1, 2020. Popeye depreciates machines of this type by the straight-line method over a five-year period using no salvage value. Due to an error, no depreciation was taken on this machine in 2020. Popeye discovered the error in 2021. What amount should Popeye record as depreciation expense for 2021? The tax rate is 25%. Multiple Choice $102,000. $136,000. $51,000. $68,000.arrow_forward

- Bowtock purchased an item of plant for $2,000,000 on 1 October 2000. It had an estimated life of eight years and an estimated residual value of $400,000. The plant is depreciated on straight-line basis. The tax authorities do not allow depreciation as a deductible expense.Instead, a tax expense of 40% of the cost of this type of asset can be claimed against income tax in the year of purchase and 20% per annum (on a reducing balance basis) of its tax base thereafter. The rate of income tax can be taken as 25%.
