    Answer and Explanation:

    The Journal entry is shown below:-

    Income tax expense Dr, $40,025

    To Deferred tax liability $2,025

    To Income tax payable $38,025

    (Being income taxes for the year 2020 is recorded)

    Working note:-

    Excess depreciation = ($27,000 * 50%) - ($27,000 : 4)

    = $13,500 - $6,750

    = $6,750

    For Deferred tax liability = $6,750 * 30%

    = $2,025

    For Income tax payable = ($157,000 - $23,500 - $6,750) * 30%

    = $126,750 * 30%

    = $38,025
