C) asset will increase by $4,000. D) liability will increase by $4,000. The correct answer was Since only $10,000 of the rent expense will be allowed per tax returns, a deferred tax asset of $4,000 will result ($10,000 × 40%). 28.All else equal, when a company issues bonds at a premium, the debt/equity ratio will show: A) stable trend over the life of the bond. B) a decreasing trend over the life of the bond. C) an increasing trend over the life of the bond. D) Cannot be determined based on the information provided.

29.Indata Company sold a specially manufactured item for $5,000,000 on December 31, 2006. The item was sold on an installment sale basis, with $1,000,000 paid on the date of the sale and $4,000,000 to be paid in four annual installments of $1,000,000 plus interest at the market rate of 6 percent. Indata’s tax rate is 40 percent and its costs to construct the item were $2,500,000. Indata recognizes the entire amount of the sale as income on the date the sale is made for accounting purposes, but not until cash is received for tax purposes. On its balance sheet dated December 31, 2006, Indata will, as a result of the transaction described above, increase its deferred tax: A) liability by $200,000. B) asset by $800,000. C) asset by $200,000. D) liability by $800,000. The correct answer was D) Accounting profit from the installment sale was ($5,000,000 - $2,500,000 =) $2,500,000. Income tax expense is calculated based on 40 percent of accounting profit, so tax expense from the transaction is ($2,500,000 * 0.40 =) $1,000,000. Income taxes payable, as of December 31, 2006, were (($1,000,000 – ($2,500,000 * $1,000,000 / $5,000,000)) * 0.40 =) $200,000. The excess of income tax expense over income taxes payable is a credit to deferred tax liability of ($1,000,000 - $200,000 =) $800,000.
