Ramon Moran · Answer 1

tax expense = $5.6 million

Deferred tax liability = $4 million

Taxes payable = $1.6 million

Explanation:

Assuming no differences between accounting income and taxable income, the journal entry to record income taxes in 2018 is given as:

Pretax accounting income $14 million

Sales revenue from lot sales $10 million

Collections from lot sales 0 million

Taxable income = Pretax accounting income - sales revenue from lot sales + collections from lot sales = $14 million - $10 million = $4 million

Since the tax rate = 40% = 0.4, Therefore:

tax expense = Pretax accounting income * tax rate = $14 million * 0.4 = $5.6 million

Deferred tax liability = Sales revenue from lot sales * tax rate = $10 million * 0.4 = $4 million

Taxes payable = taxable income * tax rate = $4 million * 0.4 = $1.6 million
