Paper For Above Instructions

In analyzing Polytech Inc.'s financial performance and tax implications, we must assess various components of their reported income and the adjustments required for tax calculations. This includes the reconciliation of GAAP income to Net Income for Tax Purposes (NIFTP), exploring both their operational income and specific deductions that affect their overall tax liability.

Net Income for Tax Purposes Calculation

The reported Net Income for Polytech Inc. as of December 31, 2019, stands at $275,000. However, calculating NIFTP requires several adjustments to the reported figures. The first step involves understanding the components that contribute to the income statement.

Revenues comprise both operational revenues of $1,000,000 and other income which includes a capital gain of $100,000. These figures sum up to gross income of $1,100,000. Next, we consider the costs:

  • Cost of Goods Sold (COGS): $300,000
  • Selling and Administrative Costs: $150,000
  • Amortization Expense: $175,000
  • Other Expenses: $125,000

This leads to an income before tax expense of $350,000 as stated in their report. The income tax expense taken was $75,000, leading to the reported net income of $275,000.

Adjustments to GAAP Income

To calculate NIFTP, we begin with the GAAP income of $275,000 and make the necessary adjustments based on what is not allowed as deductions for tax purposes. For the COGS, we may need to consider adjustments related to capital gains, which is a non-taxable income in this scenario. Further, the selling and administrative costs have some non-deductible portions:

  • Club memberships ($30,000) are typically non-deductible.
  • Interest related to late tax installments ($1,000) may also be disallowed.

Additionally, while bonuses of $4,000 paid post year-end are often deducted in the year they are declared, the incorporation costs ($4,000) and bond amortization ($2,000) also need to be assessed for their deductibility in this context.

Adjusted Figures for NIFTP

Based on the above analyses and adjustments, we find the adjusted income to reflect taxable income:

  • GAAP Net Income: $275,000
  • Add: Non-deductible expenses (club memberships and late tax interest): $31,000
  • Less: Other non-taxable income (capital gains): $100,000

End of Year Tax Account Balances

Considering the tax implications and the final calculations, we must also address the tax account balances. This includes understanding the carryforward options and adjusting for the insurance settlement of $1.5 million and construction expenses for rebuilding the facility. Given that the original facility had a UCC of $0.9 million and was damaged:

  • Insurance proceeds effectively replace part of the UCC of the burnt facility, affected by the cost of the new construction ($2 million).
  • Tax implications of CCA would reflect the investments in the new facility and the pending balances from the previous UCC status.

Conclusion and Future Implications

In conclusion, the compilation and adjustments highlighted provide a framework for determining Polytech Inc.'s financial obligations and tax responsibilities. Understanding the differences between GAAP income and taxable income is critical, and the reconciliation process illuminates the complexities present in financial reporting and tax regulations.
