Income tax Expense = [Taxable Income (+)change in deferred Tax liability (-) change in deferred Tax Asset] x Tax Rate = ($900,000 +$1,200,000 (-) $1,500,000) x 30% = $300,000 x 30% = $180,000 |
Income tax Expense =$180,000 |
5) Deferred tax asset
= Estimated litigation expense x Tax Rate = $1,500,000 x 30% = $450,000 (Non Current) Since Estimated liability for Litigation is Non-Current |
Deferred tax asset = $450,000 (Non Current) |
