Tru Developers, Inc. sells plots of land for industrial development. Tru recognizes income for financial reporting purposes in the year it sells the plots. For some of the plots sold this year, Tru took the position that it could recognize the income for tax purposes when the installments are collected. Income that Tru recognized for financial reporting purposes in 2011 for plots in this category was $60 million. The company expected to collect 60% of each sale in 2012 and 40% in 2013. This amount over the next two years is as follows:
Tru's pretax accounting income for 2011 was $90 million. In its income statement, Tru reported interest income of $15 million, unrelated to the land sales, for which the company's position is that the interest is not taxable. Accordingly, the interest was not reported on the tax return. There are no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than those described above. The enacted tax rate is 40 percent.
Management believes the tax position taken on the land sales has a greater than 50% chance of being upheld based on its technical merits, but the position taken on the interest has a less than 50% chance of being upheld. It is further believed that the following likelihood percentages apply to the tax treatment of the land sales ($ in millions):
Required:
1. What portion of the tax benefit of tax-free interest will Tru recognize on its 2011 tax return?
2. What portion of the tax benefit of tax-free interest will Tru recognize on its 2011 financial statements?
3. What portion of the tax on the $60 million income from the plots sold on an installment basis will Tru defer on its 2011 tax return? What portion of the tax on the $60 million income from the plots sold on an installment basis will Tru defer in its 2011 financial statements? How is the difference between these two amounts reported?
4. Prepare the journal entry to record income taxes in 2011 assuming full recognition of the tax benefits in the financial statements of both differences between pretax accounting income and taxable income.
5. Prepare the journal entry to record income taxes in 2011 assuming the recognition of the tax benefits in the financial statements you indicated in requirements 1-3.
