Assuming no other temporary or permanent differences, Woodmount will report a deferred tax liability of:A. $21 million.B. $24 million.C. $18 million.D. $19 million.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is D. $ 19 million dollars.

Explanation:

As per accounting standards deffered tax provision is recorded on accounting difference keeping the tax rate applicable, in the year of reversal or accounting year in which difference ceased to exist, in consideration.

So based on above said rule deffered tax liability will be calculated in following way.  

Next year: $20 x 35% = $ 7

Subsequent years: $40x 30% = $ 12

Deferred tax liability  = $ 19
