Read the full summary

1. Petitioner commenced business in 1928 and thereafter in each year, including the base period years, had substantial earnings. Held, that its base period net income, computed under section 713 (f), is not an inadequate standard of normal earnings and it does not qualify for relief under section 722 (b) (4), I. R. C. 1939. 2. The deduction by the petitioner, in accordance with its regular method of accounting, of the amounts of reserves for losses, rather than the actual amounts of such losses, as later determined, is not a factor which qualifies it for relief under Code section 722 (b) (5).
