$ 980
800

a. Expenses each year include $30 million from a two-year casualty insurance policy purchased in 2024 for $60
million. The cost is tax deductible in 2024.
b. Expenses include $2 million insurance premiums each year for life insurance on key executives.
c. Arndt sells one-year subscriptions to a weekly journal. Subscription sales collected and taxable in 2024 and 2025
were $33 million and $35 million, respectively. Subscriptions included in 2024 and 2025 financial reporting
revenues were $25 million ($10 million collected in 2023 but not recognized as revenue until 2024) and $33 million,
respectively. (Hint: View this as two temporary differences-one reversing in 2024; one originating in 2024.)

The loss was paid in 2024, at which time it is tax deductible.
