Explanation / Answer

1) Taxable income for 2014

Taxes due for 2014 is $ 321200 @ 50% of taxable income

Therefore, taxable income = 321200 / 50% = $ 642400

2) Pre Tax Financial Income for 2014

taxable income from above $ 642400

add: excess depreciation $ 136000

add: Interest on Municipal bond $ 14200

less: Unearned rent ($ 46000)

Therefore pre tax financial income for 2014 = $746600

3) Journal Entry

Deferred Tax Asset = 46000 * 45% = $ 20700

Deferred Tax Liability = 136000 * 45% = $ 61200

For 2014

Income Tax Expense (321200 + 61200 - 20700) DR $ 361700

Deferred tax asset DR $ 20700

Income Tax Payable CR $ 321200

Deferred Tax Laibility CR $ 61200

For 2015   Deferred Tax Laibility = ($136000/4 * 45%) =$ 15300

Deferred tax Asset = 46000/2 * 45% = $ 10350

Income Tax Expense a/c ($985000*45% -15300 +10350) DR $ 438300

Deferred tax liability DR $ 15300

Income Tax Payable (985000*45%) CR $ 443250

Deferred Tax Asset A/c CR $ 10350

4) Income Tax Expense Section for 2014

Income before taxes $ 746600

Income Tax Expense:

Current $321200

Deferred (61200 -20700) $ 40500 $ 361700

Net Income $ 384900
