Question

Operating income and tax rates for C.J. Company’s first three years of operations were as

Answer 1

Answer:

Correct option is C ; the DTA - Deferred tax asset  is $300,000

Explanation:

For losses of Year 2015 DTA should be created at 31/12/2015 as due to this loss future income will get reduced and consequently company's tax liability will get reduced.

DTA = 750,000 x 40% = 300,000

In year 2016 tax rate is 40% so DTA will be at this rate as after setting off the loss of year 2015 with income of 2016 the company will benefit by 750000 x 40%=300000 due to lesser income tax liability.

Hence the DTA - Deferred tax asset  is $300,000
