You are the new accounting manager at the Barry Transport Company. Your CFO has asked you to provide input on the company's income tax position based on the following: 1. Pretax accounting income was $52 million and taxable income was $18 million for the year ended December 31, 2016. 2. The difference was due to three items: a. Tax depreciation exceeds book depreciation by $30 million in 2016 for the business complex acquired that year. This amount is scheduled to be $50 million in 2017 and to reverse as ($40 million) and ($40 million) in 2018, and 2019, respectively. b. Insurance of $10 million was paid in 2016 for 2017 coverage. c. A $6 million loss contingency was accrued in 2016, to be paid in 2018. 3. No temporary differences existed at the beginning of 2016. 4. The tax rate is 40%. Required: 1. Determine the amounts necessary to record income taxes for 2016 and prepare the appropriate journal entry. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 1 decimal place (i. e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.5).)

Blue computers, a major pc manufacturer in the united states, currently has plants in kentucky and pennsylvania. the kentucky plant has a capacity of 1 million units a year and the pennsylvania plant has a capacity of 1.5 million units a year. the firm divides the united states into five markets: northeast, southeast, midwest, south, and west. each pc sells for $1,000. the firm anticipates a 50 perc~nt growth in demand (in each region) this year (after which demand will stabilize) and wants to build a plant with a capacity of 1.5 million units per year to accommodate the growth. potential sites being considered are in north carolina and california. currently the firm pays federal, state, and local taxes on the income from each plant. federal taxes are 20 percent of income, and all state and local taxes are 7 percent of income in each state. north carolina has offered to reduce taxes for the next 10 years from 7 percent to 2 percent. blue computers would like to take the tax break into consideration when planning its network. consider income over the next 10 years in your analysis. assume that all costs remain unchanged over the 10 years. use a discount factor of 0.1 for your analysis. annual fixed costs, production and shipping costs per unit, and current regional demand (before the 50 percent growth) are shown in table 5-13. (a) if blue computers sets an objective of minimizing total fixed and variable costs, where should they build the new plant? how should the network be structured?
