Alsup Consulting sometimes performs services for which it receives payment at the conclusion of the engagement, up to six months after services commence. Alsup recognizes service revenue for financial reporting purposes when the services are performed. For tax purposes, revenue is reported when fees are collected. Service revenue, collections, and pretax accounting income for 20152018 are as follows:

	Service Revenue			Collections			Pretax Accounting Income
2015	$	602,000		$	572,000		$	130,000
2016		690,000			700,000			195,000
2017		655,000			625,000			165,000
2018		640,000			660,000			145,000

There are no differences between accounting income and taxable income other than the temporary difference described above. The enacted tax rate for each year is 40%.

(Hint: You may find it helpful to prepare a schedule that shows the balances in service revenue receivable at December 31, 20152018.)
