The income tax rate is 25%. Pretax accounting income (income statement) $ 300,000 Interest revenue on municipal securities (15,000 ) Warranty expense in excess of deductible amount 25,000 Depreciation in excess of financial statement amount (70,000 ) Taxable income (tax return) $ 240,000 What amount(s) should Fieval report related to deferred income taxes in its 2021 balance sheet

Answer 1

Answer:

$11,250

Explanation:

Deferred tax asset = Warranty expense in excess of deductible amount * Tax rate

Deferred tax asset = $25,000 * 25%

Deferred tax asset = $6,250

Deferred Tax liability = Depreciation in excess of financial statement amount * Tax rate

Deferred Tax liability = $70,000 * 25%

Deferred Tax liability = $17,500

Non-Current deferred tax liability = $17,500 - $6,250 = $11,250

Hence, Fieval should report $11,250 as the deferred income taxes in its 2021 balance sheet
