Sherrod, Inc., reported pretax accounting income of $76 million for 2011

P16-7 Multiple differences; calculate taxable income; balance sheet classification

Sherrod, Inc., reported pretax accounting income of $76 million for 2011. The following information relates to differences between pretax accounting income and taxable income:

Income from installment sales of properties included in pretax accounting income in 2011 exceeded that reported for tax purposes by $3 million. The installment receivable account at year-end had a balance of $4 million (representing portions of 2010 and 2011 installment sales), expected to be collected equally in 2012 and 2013.

Sherrod was assessed a penalty of $2 million by the Environmental Protection Agency for violation of a federal law in 2011. The fine is to be paid in equal amounts in 2011 and 2012. Sherrod rents its operating facilities but owns one asset acquired in 2010 at a cost of $80 million. Depreciation is reported by the straight-line method assuming a four-year useful life. On the tax return, deductions for depreciation will be more than straight-line depreciation the first two years but less than straight-line depreciation the next two years ($ in millions):

Income Statement Tax Return Difference
2010 $20 $26 ($6)
2011 20 35 (15)
2012 20 12 8
2013 20 7 13
$80 $80 $0

4. Bad debt expense of $3 million is reported using the allowance method in 2011. For tax  purposes, the expense is deducted when accounts prove uncollectible (the direct write-off method): $2 million in 2011. At December 31, 2011, the allowance for uncollectible accounts was $2 million (after adjusting entries). The balance was $1 million at the end of 2010.

5. In 2011, Sherrod accrued and expense and related liability for estimated paid future absences of $7 million relating to the company’s new paid vacation program. Future compensation will be deductible on the tax return when actually paid during the next two years ($4 million 2012; $3 million in 2013).

6. During 2010, accounting income included as estimated loss of $2 million from having accrued a loss contingency. The lost is paid in 2011 at which time it is tax deductible. Balances in the deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability accounts at January 1, 2011, were $1.2 million and $2.8 million, respectively. The enacted tax rate is 40% each year.

Required:
1. Determine the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2011 and prepare the appropriate journal entry.
2. What is the 2011 net income?
3. Show how deferred tax amounts should be classified and reported in the 2011 balance sheet.
