Alsup Consulting sometimes performs services for which it receives payment at the conclusion of the engagement, up to six months after services commence. Alsup recognizes service revenue for financial reporting purposes when the services are performed. For tax purposes, revenue is reported when fees are collected. Service revenue, collections, and pretax accounting income for 2020–2023 are as follows: Service Revenue Collections Pretax Accounting Income
2015 $560,000 $545,000 $100,000
2016 660,000 665,000 165,000
2017 625,000 600,000 135,000
2018 610,000 635,000 115,000

There are no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than the temporary difference described above. The enacted tax rate for each year is 40%.

Explanation:

 a)            Service      Collections       Pre-tax             Tax        Temporary

               Revenue                         Accounting        Income    Differences

                                                           Income  

2015      $560,000    $545,000     $100,000        $85,000     ($15,000)

2016        660,000      665,000        165,000         170,000          5,000

2017        625,000      600,000        135,000          110,000      (25,000)

2018        610,000       635,000        115,000         140,000       25,000

b)             Accounting                       Tax               Temporary Differences

           Income         Tax          Income    Tax           Income    Deferred Tax

2015  $100,000    $40,000   $85,000   $34,000  ($15,000)    ($6,000) L

2016    165,000      66,000    170,000     68,000       5,000         2,000 A

2017    135,000      54,000     110,000     44,000    (25,000)     (10,000) L

2018    115,000     46,000      140,000   56,000      25,000     (10,000) A

c) The temporary difference between taxes as per accounting income and taxes as per tax regulation is recorded in the books through Deferred tax asset or deferred tax liability. When accounting income is more than tax income it would imply more taxes need to be paid in future, so a deferred tax liability account is created.

d) Tax Computations: The prevalent tax rate of 40% is multiplied with the pre-tax accounting income, the pre-tax taxable income, and the temporary differences in income respectively to obtain their respective taxes.   Ordinarily, the differences in the tax amounts of accounting income and taxable income is deferred tax asset/liability.  The deferred tax asset and liability can still be obtained separately as we have done in this case.  They give the same results.

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.

among other factors, composers started writing dynamic markings in their scores because "new instruments allowed for more dynamic ranges and contrast."

dynamics allude to the loudness or softness of music. dynamics offer an approach to demonstrate articulation in sheet music. they to drive the enthusiastic substance of music through volume and force. maybe you could alter both the volume and the shading profundity on your screen at the same time. we can likewise think about the force side of elements as the quality of a note. a few notes are intended to be played delicately and gently, while others are intended to be played all the more firmly.  

some dynamics markings have a letter 'm,' which remains for mezzo, signifying 'medium.' so a mezzo piano unique stamping resembles this (mp) and intends to play medium calm, while a mezzo specialty dynamic resembles this (mf) and intends to play medium loud.
