    Dr. Income tax Expense $22 million

    Cr. Income Tax Payable $16 million

    Cr. Deffered tax Liability $6 million

    2.

    $18 million

    Explanation:

    1.

    Deffer tax liability arises when the book value of the asset is more than the tax basis of the asset. It means there is more depreciation according to tax implication than the depreciation on book value of assets.

    Pretax Income = $45 million

    Taxable Depreciation = Depreciation as per tax - Accounting depreciation = ($20-$13) - ($30 - $28) = $5 million

    Taxable Income = $45 million - $5 million = $40 million

    Income tax = 40% x $40 million = $16 million

    Deffer tax 2018 = ($28 million - 13 million) x 40% = $6 million

    Total tax = $16 million + 6 million = $22 million

    2.

    Pretax Income $45 million

    Taxable Depreciation ($5 million)

    Taxable Income $40 million

    Income tax (16+6) ($22 million)

    Net Income $18 million
