The following information is available about Laura’s Emporium Inc. (LEI) at December 31, 20X1:
• Net income before tax for 20X1 is $5,000,000.
• At December 31, 20X0, accrued pension cost, a non-current liability, was $1,200,000 and at December 31, 20X1, accrued pension cost was $600,000. In 20X1, pension expense was $200,000 while cash contributions to the pension fund amounted to $800,000. Pension expense is not deductible on the tax return. Only cash contributions are tax deductible in the year they are paid to the pension trustee.
• At December 31, 20X0, the machinery account had a tax basis of $1,500,000 and a carrying value of $2,000,000. For 20X1, LEI claimed CCA of $400,000 and depreciation was $500,000. All other assets were acquired via operating leases.
• In August 20X1, LEI received $400,000 dividends from an investment in shares of the Bank of Nova Scotia. Dividends Canadian corporations receive from other taxable Canadian corporations are never taxable in the hands of the receiving corporation.
