c) Suggesting a scenario
Startbucks might rent a retail place for its coffee shop for 5 years. But there will be no lease
payments for the first two years. Startbucks pay an annual rental payment of 10 mil beginning in
year 3. We have computation below:
d) Compensation expense accrued at the end of year is deductible when paid to related party.
While Startbuck reports an expense earlier for financial reporting. This temporary difference
causes a deferred tax asset because Startbucks has to pay tax obligation for Tax purpose much
more than for Reporting purpose.
Suggesting possioble reason: Startbucks may decrease the compensation expense by decreasing
the deferred compensation benefits.
e)
IRS FINANCIAL STATEMENT
Revenue received in advance Taxed when received Tax when earned
When Startbucks sells value cards, the taxable income will increase while the Book income still
remains (it will be initially deferred). Therefore, a deferred tax asset will appear.
f) A deferred tax asset represents future income tax benefits. The tax benefit will be realized only
if there is sufficient taxable income from which the deductible amount can be deducted. If the
deferred tax asset appears doubtful, a valuation allowance account is needed. So this increase
may come from the uncertainty of their realization.
