问题如下:
Ted Ltd. recently purchased a manufactoring machine for $60,000, which is expected to generate annual cash inflow of $25,000 for six years. The firm will depreciate the machine over six years for accounting purpose. However, the tax authority estimates the machine's useful life of 5 years. Assume tax rate is 40%, and the machines has no salvage value. What is the taxes payable of Ted Ltd. in year 1 if straight-line method is used?
选项:
A.$5,200
B.$4,800.
C.$6,000.
解释:
A is correct.
Tax rate is 40%.
The tax authority estimates the machine's useful life of 5 years. Therefore annual depreciation expense=($60,000-0)/5=$12,000.
Taxable income in year 1 =$25,000-12,000=$13,000.
Taxes payable=$13,000*40%=$5,200.
这个 reading 太难理解了,针对这个题几个问题问一下。
- 这里的 tax deductible 是不是跟业务没啥关系的,是税务局规定的?
所以我看助教用的第六年 current tax expense直接等于 25K*40%了,因为没有其他税务局的 tax deductible 的话,所有公司运营的收入都是 taxable revenue,所以乘以税务局那头的税率 40%得到 tax payable 也就是这里的 current tax expense 是 10K
2.然后针对这个值进行 DTL 和 DTA 的调整,是只看第六年的,不用综合前面 5 年的加起来么?前五年的累计的△DTL 已经是 4000 了,再和第六年加起来不就是 0 了么?
这个 reading 我的感觉是,税真的一点感觉都没有,之前的 reading 还能做点笔记和心得,这个是一点也做不出什么笔记出来,感觉是特别专精的一个领域,之前讲的所有东西都可以和我做 strategy consutling 的 business sense结合理解,或者 quant 这种就是纯数学基础还可以,税这东西的理解我有点无力,这两个 reading 的视频翻来覆去看脑子里感觉什么都没留下看都看不进去
