a. Deferred tax asset $57600
b. Deferred tax asset $36000
c. Deferred tax liability $57600
d. Deferred tax liability $36000

Sagot :

Answer:

b. Deferred tax asset $36000

Explanation:

The computation of the deferred tax is shown below:

= Rent received from Jane for the year 2019 × tax rate in 2018

= $90,000 × 40%

= $36,000

Here the rent received on 2019 but the tax should be paid on 2018 so this represent the deferred tax asset

Therefore the option b is correct
