Explanation / Answer

how are these expenditures reported for financial and taxable income?

2)

Financial tax expense = Finacial Income after adjustment *Tax rate

Financial tax expense = 4991500*34%

Financial tax expense = 1697110

3)

Tax liability = Taxable Income * Tax rate

Tax liability = 4642580*34%

Tax liability = 1578477.20

Deffered Tax Liability = Financial tax expense - Tax liability

Deffered Tax Liability = 1697110 - 1578477.20

Deffered Tax Liability = 118632.80
