Answer 1

Hawkins Inc.

For 2017, the amount of income taxes payable for Hawkins Inc. is:

= $572,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

2017 tax rate = 35%

Pre-tax accounting income = $1,800,000

2018 Rent from Barrett Co. 64,000

Less:

Exempt Municipal bond income (80,000)

Tax Depreciation (in excess of

book depreciation) (40,000)

2018 Installment sales revenue (108,000)

Adjusted taxable income $1,636,000

Income tax (35%) 572,600 (35% of $1,636,000)

Tax expense (provision) 630,000 (35% of $1,800,000)

b) The difference between the income tax payable of $572,600 and the provision for income tax expense for the year of $630,000 is due to temporary differences and exempt Municipal bond income. The temporary differences are caused by the different timings of the recognition of revenue and expenses under the tax jurisdiction and the GAAP accounting.
