Times-Roman Publishing Company: Deferred Taxes
Not what you're looking for?
See attachment.
Times-Roman Publishing Company reports the following amounts in its first three years of operation:
($ in 000s) 2016 2017 2018
Pretax accounting income $250 $240 $230
Taxable income 290 220 260
The difference between pretax accounting income and taxable income is due to subscription revenue for one-year magazine subscriptions being reported for tax purposes in the year received, but reported in the income statement in later years when earned. The income tax rate is 40% each year. Times-Roman anticipates profitable operations in the future.
