I have a question. I got right Deferred Tax Asset and $12,350
Income Tax Payable $173,740 but I got wrong Income Tax Expense and
Deferred tax liability.
Bridgeport Inc. has two temporary differences at the end of 2016.
The first difference stems from installment sales, and the second
one results from the accrual of a loss contingency. Bridgeport’s
accounting department has developed a schedule of future taxable
and deductible amounts related to these temporary differences as
follows.
2017 | 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | |
Taxable Amounts | 42,700 | 45,900 | 64,300 | 81,400 |
Deductible Amounts | (13,600) | (18,900) | ||
TOTALS | 42,700 | 32,300 | 45,400 | 81,400 |
As of the beginning of 2016, the enacted tax rate is 34% for 2016 and 2017, and 38% for 2018–2021. At the beginning of 2016, the company had no deferred income taxes on its balance sheet. Taxable income for 2016 is $511,000. Taxable income is expected in all future years.
Prepare the journal entry to record income tax expense, deferred income taxes, and income taxes payable for 2016.
