Income tax expense 40,000 debit

tax deferred 20,000 credit

income tax payable 60,000 credit

Explanation:

accounting income 100,000

the warranty expense is not reocgnize for the state at year 1.

so the taxable income will be 150,000 (100,000 + 50,000 warranty expense)

as this will be reversed, have a temporal difference. this is a tax income deferred:

income tax expense: 100,000 x 40% = 40,000

we apply the rate: 150,000 x 40% = 60,000 income tax payable
