For financial reporting purposes, the asset has a 4-year life with no residual value and is depreciated by the straight-line method beginning in 2019. For tax purposes, the asset is depreciated under MACRS using a 5-year recovery period. Prior to 2019, Conley had no deferred tax liability or asset. The difference between depreciation for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes is the only temporary difference between pretax financial income and taxable income. The current income tax rate is 30%, and no change in the tax rate has been enacted for future years. In 2019 and 2020, taxable income will be higher or lower than financial income by what amount?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements with respect to the depreciation of property under MACRS is incorrect? Under the half-year convention, one-half year of depreciation is allowed in the year the property is placed in service. If a taxpayer elects to use the straight-line method of depreciation for property in the 5 -year class, all other 5 -year class property acquired during the year must also be depreciated using the straight-line method. In some cases, when a taxpayer places a significant amount of property in service during the last quarter of the year, real property must be depreciated using a mid-quarter convention. Real property acquired after 1986 must be depreciated using the straight-line method. The cost of property to which the MACRS rate is applied is not reduced for estimated salvage value.arrow_forward
