ans

For tax purposes RC amortizes the $20,40,000 on using the straight line method over15 years (180 months).

in year 1, it will amortize and expense $68000of the goodwill ($20,40,000/180 months x 6 months = $68,000) for tax purposes

.However, for book purposes, it does not deduct any of the goodwill.

it should report favourable temporary difference of $ 68000

n year 2, RC amortizes of the goodwill for tax purposes ($20,40,000/180 x12 = $1,36,000)

For book purposes it writes off $405000 in goodwill.

it should reports a $269000 as unfavorable temporary book-tax difference inyear 2.
