Dr income expense ($33450 + $2500) $35950

Cr income tax payable $33450

Cr deferred income tax $2500

Explanation:

The adjusted taxable income adjusted for disallowed insurance expense of $4,400 as well as the excess depreciation (timing difference) of $10,000

Pretax financial income $139,400

add:

disallowed expense $4,400

less:

additional depreciation ($10,000)

Adjusted taxable income $133,800

income tax expense is $133800 * 25%=$33450

deferred tax liability = $10,000*25%=$2500

total tax expense for the year is 35950 ($33450+$2500)
