    Explanation:

    As we know that

    When there is a temporary discrepancy between financial income and taxable income a deferred tax benefit or liability occurs. Temporary difference means an benefit or cost with respect to treatment that has just a timing gap.

    Moreover, the Premium on officer's life insurance is tax deductible i. e $15,000 as it is paid by the company due to which difference arise between the financial and taxable income.

    And,

    Interest received on municipal bonds $20,000 are mostly exempt from federal income tax.

    Therefore, it shows no such difference as it indicates the permanent difference
