A firm purchased a piece of equipment for $6,000 with the following information provided:

Calculate taxes payable for years 1 and 2.

Year 1 Year 2

A)
600 -200
B)
3,300 4,100
C)
3,900 3,900



Using DDB:

Yr. 1 Yr. 2
Revenue 15,000 15,000
Depreciation 4,000 1,333
Taxable Income 11,000 13,667
Taxes Payable 3,300 4,100

An asset with a 3-year life would have a straight line depreciation rate of 0.3333 per year. Using DDB the depreciation rate is twice this amount or 0.66667. $2,000 is the amount of depreciation left on the equipment in year 2 ($6,000 ? $4,000). Therefore, the amount of depreciation in the 2nd year is (0.66667)(2,000) = $1,333

Year: 2002 2003 2004
Income Statement:
Revenues after all expenses other than depreciation $200 $300 $400
Depreciation expense 50 50 50
Income before income taxes $150 $250 $350
Tax return:
Taxable income before depreciation expense $200 $300 $400
Depreciation expense 75 50 25
Taxable income $125 $250 $375

Assume an income tax rate of 40%.

The company's income tax expense for 2002 is:

A)
$50.
B)
$0.
C)
$60.



Effective tax rate = Income tax expense / pretax income

Income tax expense = Effective tax rate × pretax income

= $150(0.40)

= $60

What is the firm's reported effective tax rate?

A)
25%.
B)
5%.
C)
30%.



Reported effective tax rate = Income tax expense / pretax income

 = $3,000 / $10,000

= 30%

While evaluating the financial statements of Omega, Inc., the analyst observes that the effective tax rate is 7% less than the statutory rate. The source of this difference is determined to be a tax holiday on a manufacturing plant located in South Africa. This item is most likely to be:

A)
sporadic in nature, but the effect is typically neutralized by higher home country taxes on the repatriated profits.
B)
sporadic in nature, and the analyst should try to identify the termination date and determine if taxes will be payable at that time.
C)
continuous in nature, so the termination date is not relevant.



As the name suggests, a tax holiday is usually a temporary exemption from having to pay taxes in some tax jurisdiction. Because of the temporary nature, the key issue for the analyst is to determine when the holiday will terminate, and how the termination will affect taxes payable in the future.
