Question

At the end of 2017, Payne Industries had a deferred tax asset account with a balance of $26 million attributable to a temporary book–tax difference of $65 million in a liability for estimated expenses. At the end of 2018, the temporary difference is $60 million. Payne has no other temporary differences and no valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset. Taxable income for 2018 is $220 million and the tax rate is 40%.
