Explanation : |
We can also find that Reduction in deferred tax asset in 2020 = deferred tax asset balance - realizable deferred tax asset |
= $200 million - ($230 million* 80%) |
= $200 million - $184 million |
= $16 million |
Now computing the above values : |
Total income tax expense in 2021= $85 million + $16 million |
= $101 million |
Therefore, Income tax expenses in 2021 $101 million |
