Answer: 1. $260,000

2. $52,500 and $87,500

Explanation:

1. It can be computed as follows : -

Net income = Accounting income before tax - Income tax expense

= $ 400,000 - ($400,000) * (35%)

= $260,000

2. As per balance sheet : -

Deferred tax liability = ($400,000 - $250,000) * (35%) = $52,500

Income tax liability = ($250,000) * (35%) = $87,500
