Answer: The amount of deferred tax would be calculated as follows:
Temporary difference at the end of first year of operation                                                20,00,000.00
Less: Temporary difference not realised                                                  2,00,000.00
Temporary difference at the end of first year of operation that can be realised                                                18,00,000.00
Tax Rate 40%
Deferred tax asset                                                  7,20,000.00 (1,800,000*40%)
