Answer 1

Answer: Both the current portion of the tax expense of $40 and the deferred portion of the tax expense of $10.

Explanation:

When calculating the net income on the income statement, both the current portion of the tax expense as well as the deferred portion should be included.

In this scenario that would lead to a net income of:

= Pretax accounting income - Current portion - Deferred portion

= 195 - 40 - 10

= $145
