Answer 1

Calculation Of Taxable Income

Pre-tax income = $ 1320000

Add: expenses disallowed = $ 110000 estimated warranty disallowed

Taxable Income = $ 1430000

Tax Rate = 33%

Income Tax Payable = $ 471900 (Taxable Income * Tax Rate)

Deferred Tax Asset = Deferred Income * Tax Rate ( Since Pre tax Income is less than taxable income)

= 110000 * 33%

= $ 36300

	Income Tax Expense ( 471900-36300)		435600
	Defered Tax Asset		36300
