答案和详解如下: 21.What is the deferred tax liability as of the end of year one? A) $1,909 B) $780. C) $1,129. D) $320. The correct answer was B) The deferred tax liability for year 1 will be $780. Pretax Income = $4,657 = ( $7,192 - $2,535) Taxable Income = $2,755 = ($7,192 - $4,437) Deferred Tax liability = $780 = [($4,657 - $2,755)(0.41)] Alternative solution: The difference in depreciation at the end of year one is $12,676 × (0.35 - 0.20) = $1901. Deferred tax liability = difference in depreciation × tax rate = $1901 × 0.41 = $780.
22.What is the deferred tax liability as of the end of year three? A) $780. B) $1,029. C) $2,079. D) $1,909. The correct answer was C) The deferred tax liability at the end of year 3 will be $2,079 = ($780 + $780 + $519). Pretax Income = $4,657 ( $7,192 - $2,535) Taxable Income = $3,389 [$7,192 - ($12,676 x 0.30)] Deferred Tax liability for year 3 = $519 [($4,657 - $3,389)(0.41)]
Deferred Tax liability for year 1 = $780 [($4,657 - $2,755)(0.41)] Deferred Tax liability for year 2 = $780 [($4,657 - $2,755)(0.41)] Alternative solution: For tax purposes the machine is 100% depreciated out at the end of year three, while for GAAP it is only 60% depreciated. The difference in depreciation is $12,676 * (1.00 - 0.60) = $5070. Deferred tax liability = difference in depreciation * tax rate = $5070 * 0.41 = $2079. 23.For the year ended 31 December 2004, Pick Co's pretax financial statement income was $400,000 and its taxable income was $300,000.
