In 2012, the initial year of its existence, Hyland Company's accountant, in preparing both the income
statement and the tax return, developed the following list of items causing differences between
accounting and taxable income:
1. The company sells its merchandise on an installment contract basis. In 2012, Hyland elected,
for tax purposes, to report the gross profit from these sales in the years the receivables are
collected. However, for financial statement purposes, the company recognized all the gross
profit in 2012. These procedures created a 240,000 difference between book and taxable
incomes. The future collection of the installment contracts receivables are expected to result
in taxable amounts of 120,000 in each of the next two years. (Note: the company treats
installment contracts receivable as a current asset on its balance sheet.)
2. The company has also chosen to depreciate all of its depreciable assets on an accelerated
basis for tax purposes but on a straight-line basis for accounting purposes. These procedures
resulted in 42,000 excess depreciation for tax purposes over accounting depreciation. The
temporary difference due to excess tax depreciation will reverse equally over the three year
period from 2013-2015.
3. Hyland leased some of its property to Simms Company on July 1, 2012. The lease was to
expire on July 1, 2014 and the monthly rentals were to be 30,000. Simms, however, paid the
first year's rent in advance and Hyland reported this entire amount on its tax return. These
procedures resulted in a 180,000 difference between book and taxable incomes. (Note: this
lease was an operating lease and Hyland classified the unearned rent as a current liability on
its balance sheet.)
4. Hyland owns 150,000 of bonds issued by the DOT upon which 6% interest is paid annually. In
2012, Hyland showed 9,000 of income from the bonds on its income statement but did not
show any of this amount on its tax return. (Note: these bonds are classified as long-term
investments on Hyland's balance sheet.)
5. In 2012, Hyland insured the lives of its chief executives. The premiums paid amounted to
12,000 and this amount was shown as an expense on the income statement. However, this
amount was not deducted on the tax return. The company is the beneficiary.
Hyland Company showed income before income taxes of 900,000. The enacted tax rates are
40% for all years; and that no other differences between book and taxable incomes existed,
except for those mentioned above:

63. What is the income tax payable?
a. 176,400
b. 319,200
c. 361,200
d. 320,400
