Chapter 2, Problem 19PC
Interpreting Income Tax Disclosures. The financial statements of Nike, Inc., reveal the information regarding income taxes shown in Exhibit 2.17.
REQUIRED
- a. Assuming that Nike had no significant permanent differences between book income and taxable income, did income before taxes for financial reporting exceed or fall short of taxable income for 2007? Explain.
- b. Did book income before taxes for financial reporting exceed or fall short of taxable income for 2008? Explain.
- c. Will the adjustment to net income for
deferred taxes to compute cash flow from operations in the statement of cash flows result in an addition or a subtraction for 2008? - d. Nike recognizes provisions for sales returns and doubtful accounts each year in computing income for financial reporting. Nike cannot claim an income tax deduction for these returns and doubtful accounts until customers return goods or accounts receivable become uncollectible. Why do the deferred taxes for returns and doubtful accounts appear as
deferred tax assets instead ofdeferred tax liabilities ? Suggest possible reasons why the deferred tax asset for sales returns and doubtful accounts increased between 2007 and 2008. - e. Nike recognizes an expense related to deferred compensation as employees render services but cannot claim an income tax deduction until it pays cash to a retirement fund. Why do the deferred taxes for deferred compensation appear as a deferred tax asset? Suggest possible reasons why the deferred tax asset increased between 2007 and 2008.
- f. Nike states that it recognizes a valuation allowance on deferred tax assets related to foreign loss carryforwards because the benefits of some of these losses will expire before the firm realizes the benefits. Why might the valuation allowance have decreased slightly between 2007 and 2008?
- g. Nike reports a large deferred tax liability for Intangibles. In another footnote, Nike states, “During the fourth quarter ended May 31, 2008 the Company completed the acquisition of Umbro Plc (“Umbro”). As a result, $378.4 million was allocated to unamortized trademarks, $319.2 million was allocated to
goodwill and $41.1 million was allocated to other amortized intangible assets consisting of Umbro’s sourcing network, established customer relationships and the United Soccer League Franchise.” Why would Nike report a deferred tax liability associated with this increase in intangible assets on thebalance sheet ? - h. Nike recognizes its share of the earnings of foreign subsidiaries each year for financial reporting but recognizes income from these investments for income tax reporting only when it receives a dividend. Why do the deferred taxes related to these investments appear as a deferred tax liability?
- i. Why does Nike recognize both deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities related to investments in foreign operations?

- Interpreting Income Tax Disclosures. The financial statements of ABC Corporation, a retail chain, reveal the information for income taxes shown in Exhibit 2.15. REQUIRED a. Assuming that ABC had no significant permanent differences between book income and taxable income, did income before taxes for financial reporting exceed or fall short of taxable income for 2013? Explain. b. Did income before taxes for financial reporting exceed or fall short of taxable income for 2014? Explain. c. Will the adjustment to net income for deferred taxes to compute cash flow from operations in the statement of cash flows result in an addition or a subtraction for 2013? For 2014? d. ABC does not contract with an insurance agency for property and liability insurance; instead, it self-insures. ABC recognizes an expense and a liability each year for financial reporting to reflect its average expected long-term property and liability losses. When it experiences an actual loss, it charges that loss against the liability. The income tax law permits self-insured firms to deduct such losses only in the year sustained. Why are deferred taxes related to self-insurance disclosed as a deferred tax asset instead of a deferred tax liability? Suggest reasons for the direction of the change in amounts for this deferred tax asset between 2012 and 2014. e. ABC treats certain storage and other inventory costs as expenses in the year incurred for financial reporting but must include these in Inventory for tax reporting. Why are deferred taxes related to inventory disclosed as a deferred tax asset? Suggest reasons for the direction of the change in amounts for this deferred tax asset between 2012 and 2014. f. Firms must recognize expenses related to postretirement health care and pension obligations as employees provide services, but claim an income tax deduction only when they make cash payments under the benefit plan. Why are deferred taxes related to health care obligation disclosed as a deferred tax asset? Why are deferred taxes related to pensions disclosed as a deferred tax liability? Suggest reasons for the direction of the change in amounts for these deferred tax items between 2012 and 2014. g. Firms must recognize expenses related to uncollectible accounts when they recognize sales revenues, but claim an income tax deduction when they deem a particular customers accounts uncollectible. Why are deferred taxes related to this item disclosed as a deferred tax asset? Suggest reasons for the direction of the change in amounts for this deferred tax asset between 2012 and 2014. h. ABC uses the straight-line depreciation method for financial reporting and accelerated depredation methods for income tax purposes. Why are deferred taxes related to depreciation disclosed as a deferred tax liability? Suggest reasons for the direction of the change in amounts for this deferred tax liability between 2012 and 2014.arrow_forward1.
