Questiоns 3 – 5 (20% tоtаl) On Jаnuаry 1st, 2003, Pumpkin Cо decides to change from LIFO to FIFO to account for its inventory for financial reporting (GAAP) presentation purposes. To be IRS compliant, they also switch to FIFO for tax purposes at this time. The company began operations on 1/1/2001. The company purchases four inventory items per year (in March, April, May, & June), and sells two units of inventory each December. Pumpkin sells their inventory for $220,000 per item. Price paid by Pumpkin for inventory purchases (1 item per purchase): 2002 2001 March Purchase $180,000 $200,000 April Purchase $175,000 $195,000 May Purchase $170,000 $190,000 June Purchase $165,000 $185,000 Assume Pumpkin pays 25% in taxes on their income during 2001 and 2002. Due to tax law changes, Pumpkin anticipates paying 35% on their income in years after 2002. Q3: What journal entry (if any) would be required on 1/1/2003 when Pumpkin changes from LIFO to FIFO? Q4: What journal entry (if any) would be required on 12/31/2003 related to taxes if they sold 2 items as in prior years and both 2003’s tax rates and future tax rates were expected to be 35%? Q5: INSTEAD OF the original fact pattern for 2003 (described above): During 2003 Pumpkin sells 3 inventory items in 2003 and makes no purchases of new inventory. Due to congressional inaction, a major tax law expires and the tax rate changes unexpectedly to 50% during 2003. What will the journal entry be at the end of 2003 pertaining to taxes and any deferred tax asset or liability? (Pumpkin believes the tax rate will be 50% in the future as well)
