Harrow

Interperiod tax allocation with change in enacted tax rates
Harrow Corp. purchased equipment for $ 180,000 on January 2, 2020, its first day of operations. For book purposes, the equipment will be depreciated straight-line over three years with no residual value. Pre-tax accounting incomes and taxable incomes are as follows: $\begin{array}{lrrr} & \underline{2020} & \underline{2021} & \underline{2022} \\\text { Pre-tax account ing income } & \$ 124,000 & \$ 140,000 & \$ 150,000 \\\text { Taxable income } & 100,000 & 140,000 & 174,000\end{array}$ The reversible difference between pre-tax accounting income and taxable income is due solely to the use of CCA for tax purposes.
