$ Draft the income tax expense section of the income statement for each year, beginning with “Income before income taxes.” (Enter loss using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)Explanation / Answer
Calculation of cumulative Temporary difference:
Other income is same for both Tax and reporting purpose. Therefore, difference is calculated by considering income from sale of investment.
For financial reporting purpose, the whole of the gain of $84000 is to be recognised in 2017. Therefore, no income in relation to sale of investment will be recognised in subsequent years.
For tax purpose, in year 2017 only 1/3 of the gain will be recognised i.e $84000/3 = $28000. Similarly, $ 28000 will be recognised in 2018 and 2019 respectively.
From above, its clear that for 2017, reporting income will be higher whereas for 2018 and 2019 taxable income will be higher. Therefore, Deferred tax liability is to be recognised in year 2017 and reversal of the same will be made in 2018 and 2019
Tax Liability for respective years:
Tax Liability = Total Taxable Income * Tax Rate
Calculation of Deferred tax Liability
For 2018, tax rate is reduced from 40% to 35%. Deferred tax laibility is recognised @40% in 2017 but in subsequent year tax is to be paid @ 35% Therefore, the difference is to be reversed.
