    Answer: Journal entry : -

    Income tax expense A/C Dr. $4,000,000

    Deferred tax asset A/C Dr. $800,000

    To income tax payable $4,800,000

    Explanation: Above figures are computed as follows : -

    Income tax expense = (10 million) * (40%) = $4,000,000

    Deferred tax asset = (12 million - 10 million) * (40%) = $800,000

    Income tax payable = (12 million) * (40%) = $4,800,000
