    D) Income Tax Expense for $80,000.

    Explanation:

    The computation is shown below:

    Since the corporate tax rate is increased from 30% to 40% and the taxable temporary difference is of $800,000 so the change would be

    = $800,0000 * difference in tax rate

    = $800,000 * 10%

    = $80,000

    This amount i. e $80,000 would be debited and shown as an income tax expense

    Moreover, the deferred tax liability is ignored
