Accounting

Isaac Inc. began operations in January 2018. For certain of its property sales, Isaac recognizes income in the period of sale for financial reporting purposes. However, for income tax purposes, Isaac recognizes income when it collects cash from the buyer's installment payments. In 2018, Isaac had $600 million in sales of this type. Scheduled collections for these sales are as follows:

2018 $ 60 million
2019 120 million
2020 120 million
2021 150 million
2022 150 million
$ 600 million
