Requirement 1
Since taxable income is less than pretax accounting income, a future taxable amount will occur when the temporary difference reverses. This means a deferred tax liability should be recorded to reflect the future tax consequences of the temporary difference.
Income tax expense (to balance) 140,000 Deferred tax liability ([$400,000 – 250,000] x 35%) 52,500 Income tax payable ($250,000 x 35%) 87,500
As a result, net income is $260,000:
Pretax accounting income $400,000
Income tax expense 140,000
Net income $260,000
Requirement 2
In its balance sheet, Alvis will report the $52,500 deferred tax liability among either its current or long-term liabilities depending on the cause of the temporary difference and the $87,500 income tax payable as a current liability.
