Question

Case Development began operations in December 2018. When property is sold on an installment basis, Case recognizes installment income for financial reporting purposes in the year of the sale. For tax purposes, installment income is reported by the installment method. 2018 installment income was $720,000 and will be collected over the next three years. Scheduled collections and enacted tax rates for 2019–2021 are as follows:

2019	$	174,000	30	%
2020		310,000	40
2021		236,000	40

Case also had product warranty costs of $92,000 expensed for financial reporting purposes in 2018. For tax purposes, only the $26,000 of warranty costs actually paid in 2018 was deducted. The remaining $66,000 will be deducted for tax purposes when paid over the next three years as follows:

2019	$	22,400	30	%
2020		27,400	40
2021		16,200	40

Pretax accounting income for 2018 was $990,000, which includes interest revenue of $22,000 from municipal bonds. The enacted tax rate for 2018 is 30%.
