Q35. Corcoran Corp acquired an asset on 1 January 2004, for $500,000. For financial reporting, Corcoran will depreciate the asset using the straight-line method over a 10-year period with no salvage value. For tax purposes the asset will be depreciated straight line for five years and Corcoran’s effective tax rate is 30%. Corcoran’s deferred tax liability for 2004 will:

A)   increase by $15,000.

B)   decrease by $50,000.

C)   decrease by $15,000.

Correct answer is A)

Straight-line depreciation per financial reports = 500,000 / 10 = $50,000

Tax depreciation = 500,000 / 5 = $100,000

Temporary difference = 100,000 − 50,000 = $50,000

Deferred tax liability will increase by $50,000 × 30% = $15,000

B)   a decrease in deferred tax liability and a decrease in tax expense.

C)   a decrease in deferred tax liability and an increase in tax expense.

Correct answer is A)

An increase in tax rates will increase future deferred tax liability, and the impact of the increase in liability will be reflected in the income statement of the year in which the tax rate change is effected.
