Chapter 18, Problem 64P
Silver Creek Ranch LLC is a small, family-owned cattle ranch that began operations in the current year. The ranch grows hay that will be fed to its purebred cattle. It will take approximately three years to build up the herd and to begin producing a positive cash flow. The owners’ other income will equal their deductions, so they will not be able to utilize farm losses for the first three years.
The owners have asked you to discuss the Federal income tax accounting issues related to their cattle business.

You have decided to start a landscaping business in Rogers Arkansas (you reside in this city). You
purchased a used truck for $9,000-and the necessary landscaping tools. During the month of May
you charged and collected $6,000 for services rendered (all landscaping jobs were within the city
limits of Rogers). Answer the following questions:
1. What amount of sales tax are you required to pay for the used truck you purchased?
2. How much sales tax should you have collected for services rendered?
You were hired as the accountant of XYZ Trading, a sole proprietorship business owned by Mr. Francisco Montano. One of your responsibilities is to prepare the income tax return of Mr. Montano. Annually, Mr. Montano pays P50,000 to P100,000 income tax. He told you to help him lessen his income taxes by 10%. As his accountant, what will you do to help him?
During the past year, Stacy McGill planted a new vineyard on 150 acres of land that she leases for $30,000 a year. She has asked you, as her accountant, to assist her in determining the value of her vineyard operation.
The vineyard will bear no grapes for the first 5 years (1–5). In the next 5 years (6–10), Stacy estimates that the vines will bear grapes that can be sold for $60,000 each year. For the next 20 years (11–30), she expects the harvest will provide annual revenues of $110,000. But during the last 10 years (31–40) of the vineyard’s life, she estimates that revenues will decline to $80,000 per year.
During the first 5 years, the annual cost of pruning, fertilizing, and caring for the vineyard is estimated at $9,000; during the years of production, 6–40, these costs will rise to $12,000 per year. The relevant market rate of interest for the entire period is 6%. Assume that all receipts and payments are made at the end of each year.

To help offset the cost of the airplane, your company occasionally rents the jet to the executives of two other corporations when it is not in use by Millenium.When the corporate tax return was filed this year, you began depreciating the jet by using MACRS. Today you received a letter from the IRS informing you that because your company occasionally rents the airplane to others, it is considered a commercial aircraft and must be depreciated as such. The corporate lawyers are considering disputing this IRS ruling and have asked you the following questions: How much depreciation did you claim this year? 2,500,000x.20= $500,000 claimed in depreciation this year Under the new category, how much depreciation would be claimed? 2,500,000x.1429= $357,250 claimed in depreciation in the new category If the company pays 30% income tax, what…arrow_forwardThe Johnsons have accumulated a nest egg of $22,000 that they intend to use as a down payment toward the purchase of a new house.
