II. Jerry Prior, Beeler Corporation’s controller,
is concerned that net income may be lower this year. He is afraid upper-level management
might recommend cost reductions by laying off accounting staff including him.
Prior knows that depreciation is a major expense for Beeler. The company currently uses the
double-declining-balance method for both financial reporting and tax purposes, and he’s thinking
of selling equipment that, given its age, is primarily used when there are periodic spikes in demand.
The equipment has a carrying value of $2,000,000 and a fair value of $2,180,000. The gain on the sale
would be reported in the income statement. He doesn’t want to highlight this method of increasing
income. He thinks, “Why don’t I increase the estimated useful lives and the salvage values? That will
decrease depreciation expense and require less extensive disclosure, since the changes are accounted
for prospectively. I may be able to save my job and those of my staff.”

A Public Corporation states in an annual SEC disclosure that its product, the xWatch, is extremely profitable, and should generate 51 billion. The company omits, though, that it took pre-orders for the watch, and that most of the $1 billion was earned in the prior year. Most investors reading this Document would form the mistaken belief that the $1 billion was all earned in the current year, causing them to be misled in overvaluing the corporation's health and profitability. If an injured i investor sues under 10(b):
The corporation is liable if the statement lacked material information
The corporation is not liable because it has no duty to disclose information to the SEC after its IPO
The corporation is not liable because the contested statement is factually accurate
The corporation is liable only if the company is publicly traded
Hemingway Corporation is considering expanding its operations to boost its
income, but before making a final decision, it has asked you to calculate the
corporate tax consequences of such a decision. Currently, Hemingway
generates before-tax yearly income of $193,000 and has no debt outstanding.
Expanding operations would allow Hemingway to increase before-tax yearly
income to $335,000. Hemingway can use either cash reserves or debt to
finance its expansion. If Hemingway uses debt, it will have a yearly interest
expense of $70,000.
Create a spreadsheet to conduct a tax analysis (assume a 28% flat tax rate)
for Hemingway Corporation and determine the folowing:
a. What is Hemingway's current annual corporate tax liability?
b. If Hemingway finances its expansion using cash reserves, what will be its
new corporate tax liability?
c. If Hemingway finances its expansion using debt, what will be its new
corporate tax liability?

The cheating may take the form of not reporting income or taking nonexistent or unjustified deductions. The total loss to the government is more than $100 billion a year. This represents the unpaid taxes of otherwise honest Americans, not the additional tens of billions hidden by drug czars and other hardened criminals. If all taxes were properly collected, a portion of our federal deficit could be wiped out. The most frequent offenders are the self-employed. A General Accounting Office (GAO) study revealed that auto dealers, restaurateurs, and clothing store operators underreport their taxable income by nearly 40 percent. Doctors, lawyers, barbers, and accountants underpay (cheat?) on 20 percent of their revenues. The most proficient of the nonreporters are in the food-service industry.

As a member of top management, Kohler participates in an attractive company bonus plan. The overall size of the bonus is a function of the firm's net income before bonus and income taxes - the larger the net income, the larger the bonus. Due to a slowdown in the economy due to Coronavirus, the company has encountered difficulty in managing its cash flow. The company auditors have recommended that the company change its inventory method from FIFO to LIFO . The change would cause a significant increase in the cost of goods sold for the year. Kohler thinks the company shouldn't switch to LIFO b/c its inventory quantities are too large. After expressing this opinion to the firm's treasurer, Kohler is stunned at the treasurer's reply "Reed, I can't believe that after all these years with the company, you put your personal interests ahead of the companies…arrow_forward
