Explanation:

Task a:

Determine the deferred taxes to be reported at the end of 2017.

Deferred tax asset

Deferred tax asset = $102,000,000 × 40%

Deferred tax asset = $40,800,000 (answer)

Deferred tax liability

Deferred tax liability = $51,000,000 × 40%

Deferred tax liability = $20,400,000 (answer)

Task b:

Indicate how the deferred taxes computed in (a) are to be reported on the balance sheet.

Explanation:

Deferred tax asset

  • When income tax expense is smaller than income tax payable as a result of deducting any non-cash expenses in accounting books, some income tax expense is deferred to the future.
  • The larger income tax payable on tax returns creates a deferred tax asset, which companies can use to pay for deferred income tax expense in the future.
  • Deferred tax assets may be presented as current assets if a temporary difference between accounting income and taxable income is reconciled the following year.

Deferred tax liability

  • When income tax expense is greater than income tax payable as a result of no recognition of any noncash revenues in tax returns, some income payable is deferred to the future.
  • The smaller income tax payable on tax returns creates a deferred tax liability, which companies must meet by paying any deferred income tax payable in the future.
  • Deferred liabilities may be presented as current liabilities if a temporary difference between accounting income and taxable income is reconciled the following year.
