#19 from S09 originally based on KWW12th 19-101
2. Deferred tax asset (55 points)

Yerba Inc. began business on January 1, 2008. Its pretax financial income for the first 3 years was as follows:

2008 $240,000

2009 560,000

2010 1,725,000

The enacted tax rate in 2008 was 35%. The enacted tax rate existing at Dec. 31, 2009 and 2010 is 40%: The following items caused the only differences between pretax financial income and taxable income.

1. On January 2, 2008, heavy equipment costing $500,000 was purchased. The equipment had a life of 5 years and no salvage value. The straight-line method of depreciation is used for book purposes and the MACRS tax deduction taken each year is shown in the table below:

2008 / 2009 / 2010 / 2011 / 2012 / Total
For tax / $120,000 / $200,000 / $150,000 / $30,000 / 0 / $500,000
For accounting / 100,000 / 100,000 / 100,000 / 100,000 / 100,000 / 500,000

2. In 2009, the company collected first and last years’ rent in the total amount of $180,000. Of this amount, $90,000 was earned in 2009; the other $90,000 will be earned in 2011. The full $180,000 was included in taxable income in 2009.

3. The company pays $8,000 a year for life insurance on officers.

4. In 2009, the company had a long-term construction contract on which it recognized a gross profit of $120,000 in 2009 and $150,000 in 2010 on the income statement under the percentage of completion method. For tax purposes, the company uses the completed contract method. The contract is expected to be completed in 2012.

5. In 2010, an officer of the company was killed in an automobile accident and the company collected on the $1,000,000 life insurance policy.

3. Earnings per share (50 points)

In 2009, net income for Winthrop Corp. was $5,575,000. Its tax rate was 40%.

There are 750,000 options to buy common stock at $50 a share outstanding. The market price of the common stock averaged $60 during 2009 (both market price and option price have already been adjusted for the stock dividend).

During 2009, there were 500,000 shares of convertible 8% preferred stock outstanding. The par value is $100 and each share is convertible into 30 shares of common stock after the stock dividend. No preferred shares were converted during 2009.

Winthrop issued $10,000,000 of 9% convertible bonds at face value during 2006. The semiannual bonds mature in 2016. Each $5,000 bond is convertible into 300 shares of common stock after the stock dividend. No bonds were converted during 2009.

5. Stock option plan (15 points) Extremely similar to F08 & F09 questions
Family Inc. is a publicly traded company. The president, John Brothers, was given stock options to acquire 60,000 shares of Family’s $5 par value common stock for $35 each. The options were granted on December 31, 2009 when the stock was selling for $35 per share. Mr. Brothers cannot exercise his stock options until January 1, 2012. If not exercised, the options will expire on December 31, 2014. There is no way he will be allowed to receive the cash value of difference between market price and exercise price. The relevant market prices and fair values at each date are given in the table below. Assume that John Brothers exercised all the options on Sept. 25, 2013 when the common stock was selling for $49 per share. If no entry is needed at the specified dates, the answer is “not applicable.”

Date / Market Price / Fair Value
12/31/09 / $35 / $4
12/31/10 / $38 / $8
12/31/11 / $31 / $7

After retirement, she should collect pension payments for 25 years. The pension plan's benefit formula is final year’s annual salary times years of service times 2%.

What is the normal service cost related to the year just ended for the work she performed during 2009?
