Total taxes eventually due on 2004 activities were (($2,000,000 × 0.40) + ($4,000,000 × 0.20) =) $1,600,000. Permanent differences are adjusted in the effective tax rate, which is ($1,600,000 / $7,000,000 =) 22.86%. Of the $1,600,000 taxes due, (($2,000,000 × 0.50 × 0.40) + ($4,000,000 × 0.25 × 0.20) =) $600,000 were paid in 2004 and $1,000,000 ($1,600,000 ? $600,000) is added to deferred tax liability. |
