The Numo Company, which was acquired (and renamed) in 2003 by E. R. Numo, sells frigets to multinational firms. In 2012, a venture capital firm provided additional funding in order to allow the company to expand operations. The following information was taken from the preliminary trial balance of Numo Company, a calendar year company, on December 31, 2012:

Cash	74,000
Accounts Receivable	60,000
Inventory	88,000
Transportation Equipment	203,000
Accumulated Depreciation - Transportation Equipment		68,000
Goodwill	200,000
Accounts Payable		20,000
Deferred Tax Liability - Depreciation		6,000
Common Stock, $2 par		62,000
Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par Value		81,000
Retained Earnings, 1/1/12		280,000
Sales		363,000
Salaries/Compensation Expense	86,000
Cost of Goods Sold	140,000
Supplies Expense	16,000
Depreciation Expense - Transportation Equipment	22,000
Municipal Bond Interest		1,000
Gain on Discontinued Operation - before tax		8,000

However, the bookkeeping staff did NOT record the following transactions and adjustments because staff members were unsure about the appropriate accounting treatment:

(1) On October 31, 2012, Numo issued a five-year, $400,000, non-interest bearing note to the venture capital firm and received $248,368 in cash, which reflects a 10% market yield. For financial statement purposes, interest expense is recognized using the effective interest rate method. However, for tax purposes, interest is not deductible until paid, which will be at the end of the five-year period.

HINT - In addition to the 10/31/12 transaction, be sure to record the required adjusting entry to record interest expense as of 12/31/12

(2) In 2012, the company was accused of patent infringement. While the company is contesting the case, management believes that there is a probably loss of between $15,000

and $40,000. This loss has NOT been recorded

HINT - Record the appropriate loss. This accrued liability should be considered a current liability. Also, remember that the loss is not deductible until paid.

(3) During the last quarter of the year, Numo found that inventory originally costing $17,000 had become obsolete and was no longer saleable. However, Numo has made the decision to temporarily retain the goods to see if a buyer can be found. For tax purposes, the cost of obsolete inventory can not be deducted on the tax return until the goods are actually disposed of.

Required:

A. Record appropriate transactions and adjusting entries as described above.

B. Partially prepare a multiple-step Income Statement (through Income before Income Taxes) in accordance with GAAP.

C. Record Income tax Expense for 2012. The tax rate is 25% for all years. You have learned that the company's interest revenue is tax-exempt since it was earned on municipal bonds. In addition to the temporary differences described above, you have identified that a temporary difference exists for depreciation. As of 12/31/2011, there is a cumulative difference between
