Answer 1

Answer:

$ 210 million

Explanation:

Data provided :

Taxable income for the current year = $ 300 million

Tax rate of the income  = 40%

therefore, the income tax for the current year = 0.40 × $ 300 million

or

the income tax for the current year = $ 120 million

Decrease in the deferred tax assets = $ 30 million

Increase in the deferred tax liabilities = $ 60 million

Hence,

the total income tax expense for the year

= $ 120 million + $ 30 million + $ 60 million

or

= $ 210 million
