Answer:

a. The temporary book-tax differences associated with 5 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $0.

b. The temporary book-tax differences associated with 40 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $190,000.

Explanation:

a. JDog owns 5 percent of the Oscar Inc. stock. Oscar's income for the year was $500,000

The 5 percent ownership implies that JDog has to report $10,000 in book income, and also report $10,000 in gross income. Therefore, we have:

Temporary book difference = Amount to report in book income – Amount to report in gross income = $10,000 - $10,000 = $0

Therefore, the temporary book-tax differences associated with 5 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $0.

b. JDog owns 40 percent of the Oscar Inc. stock. Oscar's income for the year was $500,000.

The 40 percent ownership implies that:

Amount to report in book income = $40% * $500,000 = $200,000

Amount to report in gross income = $10,000

Temporary book difference = Amount to report in book income – Amount to report in gross income = $200,000 - $10,000 = $190,000

Therefore, the temporary book-tax differences associated with 40 percent ownership in Oscar stock which Jdog will report for the year is $190,000.
