Explanation / Answer

Solution 1:

Book value of building at 31st december 2017 = $64 million

Book value of building at 31st december 2018 = $62 million

Depreciation as per books in 2018 = $64 - $62 = $2 million

Tax basis of building at 31st december 2017 = $54 million

Tax basis of building at 31st december 2018 = $47 million

Allowable depreciation as per income tax for 2018 = $54 - $47 million = $7 million

Pre tax accounting income for 2018 = $35 million

Taxable income for 2018 = Pre tax accounting income + depreciation as per books - depreciation as per tax

= $35 + $2 - $7 = $30 million

Income tax for 2018 = $30 *40% = $12 million

Deferred tax liability to be recoganised for 2018 = ($35- $30)*40% = $2 million

Solution 2:

Net Income for 2018 = $35 - $14 = $21 million

Journal Entries - Ameen Company Event General Journal Debit (In Million) Credit (In Million) 1 Income Tax Expense Dr $14.00          To Income tax payable $12.00          To Deferred tax liability $2.00 (Being Income tax expense and deferred tax recoganised)
