North Dakota Corporation began operations in January 2020 and purchased a machine for $23,000. North Dakota uses straight-line depreciation over a four-year period for financial reporting purposes. For tax purposes, the deduction is 50% of cost in 2020, 30% in 2021, and 20% in 2022. Pretax accounting income for 2020 was $153,000, which includes interest revenue of $21,500 from municipal bonds. The enacted tax rate is 30% for all years. There are no other differences between accounting and taxable income. Required:
Prepare a journal entry to record income taxes for the year 2012. Show well-labeled computations for the amount of income tax payable and the change in the deferred tax account.

Suppose an economy consists of three sectors: energy (e), manufacturing (m), and agriculture (a). sector e sells 70% of its output to m and 30% to a. sector m sells 30% of its output to e, 50% to a, and retains the rest. sector a sells 15% of its output to e, 30% to m, and retains the rest.

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
