Essay

Gallo Light began operations in 2018. The company sometimes sells used warehouses on an installment basis. In those cases, Gallo Light reports income in its income statement in the year of the sale.

Installment income in 2018 was $90,000, which Gallo Light expects to collect equally over the next three years. The tax rate is 30%, but based on an enacted law, is scheduled to become 35% in 2020.
Gallo Light's pretax accounting income from the 2018 income statement was $830,000, which includes $40,000 of interest revenue from an investment in municipal bonds. There were no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than those described above.
