Q-1) Calculation

2.Fines incurred for pollution violation wont be allowed as deduction for tax purposes, hence has to be added back to the Accounting income to arrive at taxable income
3.Depreciation as per the accounting books is lower than that of tax books hence the shortfall of 28,800 has to be reduced from the accounting income to arrive at taxable income
4.Only 73,200 of Installment sales can be recognized for tax purposes hence the income of 36,800 over and above the 73,200 should be reduced from the accounting income to arrive at taxable income
5.For tax purposes only the actual cost of warranty can be allowed and the amount provided hence the warranty expense over and above 9,300 should be added back to the Accounting Income to arrive at taxable income
