- Tax rate when the reversal occurs will be 10%.
What is the company's tax expense? A) $22,000. B) $24,000. C) $10,000. Correct answer is A) Deferred tax liability = (120,000 − 100,000) × 0.1 = 2,000 Tax expense = current tax rate × taxable income + deferred tax liability 0.2 × 100,000 + 2,000 = 22,000 Q16.

For financial reporting, the straight-line depreciation method is used, but for tax purposes depreciation is accelerated to 35% in years 1 and 2 and 30% in Year 3. For purposes of this exercise ignore all expenses other than depreciation. What is the tax payable for year one?
A) $779. B) $1,909. C) $2,259. Correct answer is C) r Tax payable for year one will be $2,259 = [{$14,384 − ($25,352 × 0.35)} × 0.41]. Q18. What is the deferred tax liability as of the end of year one?
A) $1,909. B) $1,559. C) $1,129. Correct answer is B) The deferred tax liability for year 1 will be $780. Pretax Income = $9,314 ( $14,384 − $5,070). Taxable Income = $5,511 ($14,384 − $8,873). Deferred Tax liability = $1,559 [($9,314 − $5,511)(0.41)]. Q19. What is the deferred tax liability as of the end of year three?
A) $780. B) $4,158. C) $1,029. Correct answer is B) The deferred tax liability at the end of year 3 will be $4,158 ($1,559 + $1,559 + $1,040). Pretax Income = $9,314 = ( $14,384 − $5,070). Taxable Income = $6,778 = [$14,384 − ($25,352 × 0.30)]. Deferred Tax liability for year 3 = $1,040 = [($9,314 − $6,778)(0.41)]. Deferred Tax liability for year 1 = $1,559 = [($9,314 − $5,511)(0.41)]. Deferred Tax liability for year 2 = $1,559 = [($9,314 − $5,511)(0.41)]. |
