Question: Shipley Corporation reported book income before income tax for the current year (2015) of $500,000, computed as follows:

Sales revenue $1,250,000

Municipal bond interest 5,000

Less: Cost of goods sold (520,000)

Operating expenses (100,000)

Depreciation expense (90,000)

Contingent loss (45,000)

Book income before income tax $ 500,000

The contingent loss related to a lawsuit filed by one of Shipley's former employees. Although the suit has not yet gone to trial, the company recorded a potential liability for an expected unfavorable judgment under the suit.Shipley will be permitted a tax deduction only when any judgment is actually paid.

The municipal bond interest is associated with a Colorado municipal bond.

For tax purposes, Shipley has computed a depreciation amount totaling $150,000, including additional first-year bonus depreciation of $50,000 to which the company believes it is entitled. The company also took a Domestic Manufacturing Deduction of $80,000 for tax purposes.

The company's book and tax basis in its assets and liabilities, at both the beginning and end of the year, is as follows:

Beginning of Year End of Year

Book Tax Book Tax

Depreciable property $470,000 $450,000 $380,000 $300,000

Other assets 155,000 155,000 170,000 170,000

Contingent liability 0 0 (45,000) 0

Other liabilities (250,000) (250,000) (240,000) (240,000)

At the beginning of the tax year, Shipley has a balance in its deferred tax liability account (DTL) of $6,800

The company's federal rate is 35% and it is domiciled in Nevada. This year, Shipley began selling its products to customers in other states (Colorado, South Carolina, Wyoming, and Florida), but has taken the position that it has no nexus, and therefore no state tax liability, in these other states.

The apportionment percentages for the states are as follows:

Colorado - 30%

South Carolina - 45%

Wyoming - 10%

Florida - 15%

Required: Assuming no uncertainties exist regarding Shipley's ‘tax positions,' calculate Shipley's current and deferred tax expense for the year and record current tax payable and the change in Shipley's deferred tax accounts at year end. Show the calculation and the journal entry.
