"I don't see that in my intermediate accounting text I saved from college," you grumble to a colleague in the accounting division of
Dowell Chemical Corporation. "This will take some research." Your comments pertain to the appropriate accounting treatment of a
proposed sublease of warehouses Dowell has used for product storage.
Dowell leased the warehouses one year ago on December 31, 2024. The five-year lease agreement called for Dowell to make
quarterly lease payments of $2,398,303, payable each December 31, March 31, June 30, and September 30, with the first payment at
the lease's beginning. As a finance lease, Dowell had recorded the right-of-use asset and liability at $40 million, the present value of
the lease payments at 8%. Dowell records amortization on a straight-line basis at the end of each fiscal year.
Today, Dowell's controller, explained a proposal to sublease the underused warehouses to American Tankers, Incorporated, for the
remaining four years of the lease term. American Tankers would be substituted as lessee under the original lease agreement. As the
new lessee, it would become the primary obligor under the agreement, and Dowell would not be secondarily liable for fulfilling the
obligations under the lease agreement. "Check on how we would need to account for this and get back to me," the controller had said.
Required:
1. On December 31, 2025, what is the balance in Dowell's lease liability?
2. On December 31, 2025, what is the carrying amount (after accumulated amortization) of Dowell's leased warehouses?
3. Obtain the relevant authoritative literature on accounting for derecognition of finance leases by lessees using the FASB's
Codification Research System. You might gain access from the FASB website (www.fasb.org), from your school library, or some
other source. To determine the appropriate accounting treatment for the proposed sublease, what is the specific seven-digit
Codification citation (XXX-XX-XX) that Dowell would rely on to determine:
a. If the proposal will qualify as a termination of a finance lease?
b. The appropriate accounting treatment for the sublease?
4. What, if any, journal entry would Dowell record in connection with the sublease?

As a senior auditor with Klein and Company, you are interacting with David Perkins, CFO of a prominent public company and an
important client. Perkins has a reputation for pushing for favorable accounting treatments, and frequently asks auditors to "prove to me
where it says I can't do that."

1. Access the FASB Accounting Standards Codification at the FASB website (www.fasb.org) and select Basic View for free access.
Determine the specific eight-digit Codification citation (XXX-XX-XX-X) that indicates the appropriate accounting treatment for
each of the following situations, and in each case indicate whether Perkins has authoritative support in the Codification for his
preferred treatment.
2. Perkins believes that his deferred tax liabies should be calculated on a discounted present value basis, which allows him to
report a smaller amount of liability. "After all, those are amounts that are going to be paid in the future-why can't I discount them
like I would other long-term liabilities?"
3. Perkins argues that, when determining whether he should record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, he should
include as a source of future taxable income any future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, which will increase
taxable income. Doing so will reduce his valuation allowance and tax expense. "We have deferred tax liabilities that will reverse
in the same periods as deferred tax assets reverse, so they will provide taxable income that will soak up the deductions
produced by reversal of the deferred tax assets. I should get to include them when determining the amount of any valuation
allowance we would have to record."
4. Perkins wants to separately list his net current deferred tax asset and his net noncurrent deferred tax liability in his company's
balance sheet, thereby improving his company's current ratio. "I have deferred tax assets that I know will reverse next year, and I
know my investors will be better off with information about both current and noncurrent assets and liabilities."
5. Perkins does not want to provide a reconciliation of changes in the company's unrecognized tax benefits during the year, given
previous concerns by investors that his company is too aggressive in its attempts to avoid paying taxes. "I know your firm has
required that we recognize a liability for these uncertain tax positions, and we have done that, but more disclosure is
unnecessary. Our financial statements and notes are too long as it is."
