    Answer:Total income tax Liability = $72000

    Explanation:

    The question did not provide us with requirements. however after assessing the information provided in the question we can assume that the question requires us to calculate the income tax liability for the year 2019.

    Differed tax arises as a result of temporary differences in the tax laws and accounting policies from example accounting strictly uses accrual system while most Receiver of tax revenue organisations in different countries they use a combination of Cash system and Accrual system.

    Excess of Tax Depreciation = $40000

    When tax depreciation is higher than Book Value Depreciation the Tax Base (cost - accumulated tax depreciation) will be lower that the Book value (cost - accumulated depreciation). Tax Base will be Lower by $40000 which indicates a Differed tax Liability.

    Differed Tax Liability = $40 000 x 20% = $8000

    Income received In advance

    Income received in advance creates a Tax liability for the Wenger Corporation because Receiver of Tax revenue uses Cash system with regards to transactions of this nature.

    Differed Tax Liability = $20000 x 20% = $4000

    Income Tax = 300 000 x 20% = $60 000

    Total income tax Liability = 60 000 + 8000 + 4000 = $72000
