The accounting records of Steven Corp., a real estate developer

The accounting records of Steven Corp., a real estate developer, indicated income before taxes of $850,000  for its year ended December 31, 2011, and of $525,000 for the year ended December 31, 2012. The following data are also available.
1. Steven Corp. pays an annual life insurance premium of $11,000 covering the top management team. The company is the named beneficiary.
2. The carrying amount of the company’s property, plant, and equipment at January 1, 2011, was $1,256,000, and the UCC at that date was $998,000. Steven recorded depreciation expense of $175,000 and $180,000 in 2011 and 2012, respectively. CCA for tax purposes was $192,000 and $163,500 for 2011 and 2012, respectively. There were no asset additions or disposals over the two-year period.
3. Steven deducted $211,000 as a restructuring charge in determining income for 2010. At December 31, 2010, an accrued liability of $199,500 (reported in current liabilities) remained outstanding relative to the restructuring. This expense is deductible for tax purposes, but only as the actual costs are incurred and paid for. When the actual restructuring of operations took place in 2011 and 2012, the liability was reduced to $68,000 at the end of 2011 and $0 at the end of 2012.
4. In 2011, property held for development was sold and a profit of $52,000 was recognized in income. Because the sale was made with delayed payment terms, the profit is taxable only as Steven receives payments from the purchaser. A 10% down payment was received in 2011, with the remaining 90% expected in equal amounts over the following three years.
5. Non-taxable dividends of $3,250 in 2011 and of $3,500 in 2012 were received from taxable Canadian corporations.
6. In addition to the income before taxes identified above, Steven reported a before-tax gain on discontinued operations of $18,800 in 2011.
7. A 30% rate of tax has been in effect since 2009.
Steven Corp. follows the PE GAAP future income taxes method.

 (d) The following presentation is based on the assumption that the Account Receivable for the property sold in 2011 is all included in current assets. If the company reported part of it in non-current assets, 2/3 of the related future income tax liability in 2011 and 1/2 of the related future income tax liability in 2012 would have to be reported as long-term.

Balance sheet 2011
Current assets:
Future tax asset ($20,400 – $14,040)            $6,360
Non-current liabilities:
Future tax liability                            82,500

Balance sheet 2012
Current liability:
Future tax liability                             $9,360
Non-current liabilities:
Future tax liability                             77,550

Under PE GAAP, future tax assets and future tax liabilities are segregated into current and non-current categories. The classification of an individual future tax liability or asset as current or non-current is determined by the classification of the asset or liability underlying the specific temporary difference.
