Corporate Income Taxes
Corporate Income Taxes A corporation makes four income tax installment payments throughout the year. Assume that a corporation estimates its taxes for the year to be $84,000.
Corporate Income Taxes On April 15, the first of four estimated annual tax payments of $21,000 is made. Apr. 15 Income Tax Expense 21 000 00 Cash 21 000 00 To record quarterly payment of estimated income tax.
Corporate Income Taxes Ratio of Reported Income Tax Expense to Earnings Before Taxes for Selected Industries Automobiles 33% Banking 35 Computers 35 Food 35 Integrated oil 39 Pharmaceutical 30 Retail 39 Telecommunication 17 Transportation 38
Allocating Income Taxes 1. Revenues or gains are taxed after they are reported in the income statement. 2. Expenses or losses are deducted in determining taxable income after they are reported in the income statement. 3. Revenues or gains are taxed before they are reported on the income statement. 4. Expenses or losses are deducted in determining taxable income before they are reported in the income statement.
Temporary Differences Differences in tax law and GAAP create some temporary differences that reverse in later years. Temporary differences do not change or reduce the total amount of tax paid, they affect only the timing of when the taxes are paid.
Temporary Differences MACRS (tax depreciation) Straight-line (financial statement depreciation) Years 1-5 Total Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5
Temporary Differences in Reporting Revenues Financial Reporting Tax Reporting Revenue Reporting Report Now Taxable Later Report Later Taxable Now EXAMPLE: Income reporting methods. Point-of-Sale Method Installment Method EXAMPLE: Cash collected in advance. When Earned When Collected
Temporary Differences in Reporting Expenses Financial Reporting Tax Reporting Expense Deductions Deduct Now Deduct Later Deduct Slower Deduct Faster EXAMPLE: Product warranty expense. When Estimated When Paid EXAMPLE: Methods of depreciation. Straight-Line Method MACRS Method
Temporary Differences At the end of the first year of operations, a corporation reports $300,000 income before income taxes. With a 40% tax rate, the firm faces a tax of $120,000. Using tax planning, the net income is reduced to $100,000 and the actual income tax due is $40,000. The difference is deferred to future years.
Temporary Differences The entry to record income taxes on April 15 reflects the deferred amount of $80,000. Apr. 15 Income Tax Expense 120 000 00 Income Tax Payable 40 000 00 Deferred Income Tax Payable 80 000 00 To record income tax for the year.
Temporary Differences If $48,000 of the deferred tax reverses and becomes due in the second year, the entry will reflect this fact. Apr. 15 Deferred Income Tax Payable 48 000 00 Income Tax Payable 48 000 00 To record current liability for deferred tax.
Permanent Differences Differences between taxable income and income before taxes reported on the income statement may be the result of differences that never reverse.
Permanent Differences These differences are referred to as permanent differences. Interest on municipal bonds is an example of this type of timing difference.

Business Combinations Equity Method Cost No significant influence Significant Ownership % 0% 20% Controlling Interest 100% 50% The corporation owning all or a majority of the voting stock is called the parent company. The controlled corporation is the subsidiary company. Consolidated financial statements are prepared which combines the operating results of the two entities.
Business Combinations A merger combines two corporations by one acquiring the properties of another that is then dissolved. Many businesses combine in order to produce more efficiently or to diversify product lines. A consolidation is the creation of a new corporation, to which the combined assets and liabilities of the old corporations are transferred to the new corporation.
Business Combinations Mergers Consolidations C A B A B Mergers: Company A acquires company B. The assets and liabilities of B are transferred to A and B is then dissolved. Consolidations: Company A acquires company B. The assets and liabilities of both A and B are transferred to a new company C and A and B are then dissolved.
FINANCIAL ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION A firm’s growth potential and future earnings prospects are indicated by how much the market is willing to pay per dollar of a company’s earnings.
Price-Earnings Ratio Accounting: Earnings Per Share Net Income Common Shares Earnings per Share of Common Stock = Investing: Price - Earnings Ratio Market Price Per Share of Common Stock Earnings Per Share of Common Stock Price- Earnings Ratio =
Price-Earnings Ratio The price-earnings ratio represents how much the market is willing to pay per dollar of a company’s earnings. This indicates the market’s assessment of a firm’s growth potential and future earnings prospects. An example: 2006 2005 Market price per share $20.50 $13.50 Earnings per share $1.64 $1.35 Price-earnings ratio 12.5 10.0 The price-earnings ratio indicates that a share of common stock was selling for 10 times earnings for 2005 and 12.5 times for 2006.
