Sienna Company developed a specialized banking application software program that it licenses to various financial institutions through multiple-year agreements. On January 1, 2021, these licensing agreements have a fair value of $905,000 and represent Sienna's sole asset. Although Sienna currently has no liabilities, the company has a $188,000 net operating loss (NOL) carry-forward because of recent operating losses. On January 1, 2021, Paoli, Inc., acquired all of Sienna's voting stock for $1,130,000. Paoli expects to extract operating synergies by integrating Sienna's software into its own products. Paoli also hopes that Sienna will be able to receive a future tax reduction from its NOL. Assume an applicable federal income tax rate of 21 percent. a. If there is a greater than 50 percent chance that the subsidiary will be able to utilize the NOL carry-forward, how much goodwill should Paoli recognize from the acquisition? b. If there is a less than 50 percent chance that the subsidiary will be able to utilize the NOL carry-forward, how much goodwill should Paoli recognize from the acquisition?

Thus, adjustments to convert from U.S. GAAP to IFRS must be made. Ignore income taxes. Required: a.

The semiconductor business of the California Microtech Corporation qualifies as a component of the entity according to GAAP. The book value of the assets of the segment was $19 million. The loss from operations of the segment during 2021 was $3.3 million. Pretax income from continuing operations for the year totaled $6.1 million. The income tax rate is 25%.

LED Corporation owns $1,000,000 of Branch Pharmaceuticals bonds and classifies its investment as securities available-for-sale. The market price of Branch’s bonds fell by $456,000 due to concerns about one of the company’s principal drugs. The concerns were justified when the FDA banned the drug. $102,000 of that decline in value already had been included in OCI as a temporary unrealized loss in a prior period. LED views $202,000 of the $456,000 loss as related to credit losses, and the other $254,000 as noncredit losses. LED thinks it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the investment before fair value recovers. What journal entries should LED record to account for any credit or noncredit losses in the current period? How should the decline affect net income and comprehensive income?

On January 1, 2021, DONNER Corporation purchased investment securities for ₱1,200,000. The securities are classified as trading. By December 31, 2021, the securities had a fair value of ₱1,680,000 but had not yet been sold. The company recognized a ₱320,000 restructuring charge during the year.

The income tax rate for the current year and future years is 30%. What is DONNER's current tax expense?
