Question

Headland Corporation began operations in 2020 and reported pretax financial income of $230,000 for the year. Headland’s tax depreciation exceeded its book depreciation by $40,000. Headland’s tax rate for 2020 and years thereafter is 30%. Assume this is the only difference between Headland’s pretax financial income and taxable income.

Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

Answer 1

Since tax depreciation is higher, taxable income will be lower

Account Titles	Debit	Credit
Income Tax Expense	$          69,000		=230000*30%
Income Tax Payable		$          57,000	=(230000-40000)*30%
Deferred Tax Liability		$          12,000	=40000*30%

Deferred Tax Liability is Non Current Liability
