Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Income tax expense A/c Dr $30,035,000

       To Deferred tax asset A/c $35,000

       To Income tax payable A/c $30,000,000

(Being the income tax expense is recorded)

The computation is shown below:

For deferred tax asset:

= Deferred tax rate - Warrant liability × tax rate

= $435,000 - $1,000,000 × 40%

= $435,000 - $400,000

= $35,000

For income tax payable:

= Taxable income × tax rate

= $75,000,000 × 40%

= $30,000,000
