Answer 1

Answer:

$9,156

Explanation:

Income = (Sales-expenses) + $10,000

Income = ($1,670,200 - $1,536,600) + $10,000

Total income = $143,600

Tax = Income * Tax Rate = $143,600 * 0.21 = $30,156

Now, total taxes payable is $30,156,but they estimated that payment to be $21,000, So company C has reserved $21,000 for future tax payments

So, Net deferred tax payable = $30,156 - $21,000 = $9,156. Therefore, ending balance of taxes payable on the 20X1 balance sheet is $9,156.
