Mathis Co. at the end of 2017, its first year of operations, prepared a reconciliation between pretax financial income and taxable income as follows: Pretax financial income $ 1,200,000 Estimated litigation expense 3,000,000 Installment sales profit (2,400,000) Taxable income $ 1,800,000 The estimated litigation expense of $3,000,000 will be deductible in 2019 when it is expected to be paid. The gross profit from the installment sales will be realized, and thus taxed, in the amount of $1,200,000 in each of the next two years. The income tax rate is 30% for all years. The deferred tax liability to be recognized is:

Aproduction line has three machines a, b, and c, with reliabilities of .96, .86, and .85, respectively. the machines are arranged so that if one breaks down, the others must shut down. engineers are weighing two alternative designs for increasing the line’s reliability. plan 1 involves adding an identical backup line, and plan 2 involves providing a backup for each machine. in either case, three machines (a, b, and c) would be used with reliabilities equal to the original three. a. compute overall system reliability under plan 1. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability b. compute overall system reliability under plan 2. (round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 4 decimal places.) reliability c. which plan will provide the higher reliability? plan2plan1
