Essay

Consider the following:
Case A
Income (loss) for quarters 1 through 4 is ($50,000), $30,000, $40,000, and $40,000, respectively. Future projected income for the year is uncertain at the end of quarters 1 and 2. Annual income at the end of quarter 3 is estimated to be $20,000. No carryback benefit exists, and any future annual benefit is uncertain.
Case B
Assume the same facts as in Case A. However, at the end of quarters 1 through 3, annual income is estimated to be $40,000.
Case C
Quarterly income (loss) levels were $15,000, ($35,000), ($75,000), and $25,000. A yearly operating loss of $70,000 was anticipated throughout the year. Prior years' income of $28,000 is available for carryback. The same tax rates were relevant to the carryback period
Required:
For cases A through C, complete the schedule that follows: Assume that the statutory tax rate is 15% on the first $50,000 of income, 25% on the next $25,000, and 30% on income in excess of $75,000.
