As a US company, Rosenfeld had to immediately adjust the balance of its DTAs based on the new law.

Answer:

Rosenfeld Co.

The item decreased by the entry to adjust the balance in Deferred Tax Assets is:

d. Deferred Tax Assets.

Explanation:

Deferred Tax Assets on December 31 = $10,000

Federal Statutory Tax Rate = 35%

New Federal Statutory Tax Rate = 20%

The balance in the Deferred Tax Assets  will be reduced to $5,714 ($10,000/35% * 20%)

This means that the Deferred tax assets will be decreased by $4,286 while the net income will be increased by $4,286.
