Answer 1

Answer:

Deferred tax asset $174000

Explanation:

The computation of the  amount of deferred tax asset or liability for the year 2021 is shown below:

= Income in the year 2021 × enacted tax rate for the year 2021

= $870,000 × 20%

= $174,000

By multiplying the income for the year 2021 with the enacted tax rate for the year 2021 we can get the deferred tax asset and the same is shown above
