On January 1, 2010, MCL purchased the rights to use a parcel of land from the province of Ontario. The rights cost $15,000,000 and allowed the company to extract ore for five years, i.e., until Dec 31, MCL expects to extract the ore evenly over the contract period. At the end of the contract, MCL has to clean up and restore the land. MCL estimates this will cost $2,000,000. Assume that 100% of the total asset retirement cost estimate is caused by the asset acquisition itself. MCL uses a discounted cash flow method to calculate the fair value of this obligation and believes that 8% is the appropriate discount rate. MCL uses straight-line depreciation method. MCL uses the calendar year as its fiscal year and follows IFRS. Required (Round all values to the nearest dollar.) a. Prepare the journal entries to be recorded on January 1, (3 points) b.

12 IV. Deferred income taxes (14 points) In 2014, the first year of its existence, Virginia Ltd.'s accountant, in preparing both the income statement and the tax return, developed the following list of items creating differences between accounting and taxable income: 1. The company sells its merchandise on an installment contract basis. In 2014, Virginia elected, for tax purposes, to report the gross profit from these sales in the years the receivables are collected. However, for financial statement purposes, the company recognized all the gross profit in These procedures created a $240,000 difference between book and taxable incomes for Future collections of installment receivables are expected to result in taxable amounts of $120,000 in each of the next two years. 2. The company depreciates all of its property, plant and equipment using CCA for tax purposes and straight-line for accounting purposes. This resulted in $42,000 excess CCA over accounting depreciation. This temporary difference will reverse equally over the three year period from On July 1, 2014, Virginia leased part of its building to Swift Books Ltd. on a two-year operating lease. The monthly rent is $30,000, and Swift paid the first year's rent in advance (July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015). Virginia reported the entire amount on its tax return. This resulted in a $180,000 difference between book and taxable incomes. 4. Virginia sold $150,000 of bonds issued by the Government of Canada at a gain of $18,000, which was included as other income in its income statement. A taxable capital gain of $9,000 was reported for tax purposes. 5. In 2014, Virginia insured the lives of its chief executives. The premiums paid were $12,000 and this amount was shown as an expense on the income statement. However, this amount was not deductible for tax purposes. Virginia is a publicly accountable enterprise adhering to IFRS. Their 2014 income statement showed "Income before income taxes" of $900,000. The currently enacted income tax rate (and for the foreseeable future) is 40%. Except for those items mentioned above, there are no other differences between book and taxable incomes. Instructions a.
