Respuesta :

Answer:

Option B is correct,a deferred tax asset of $420,350

Explanation:

The amount of taxable income is now than the income per books ,which means that a higher amount than usual is assessed to tax now leading to higher tax paid in the current year but would result in lower tax amount next year, without mincing words we have a deferred tax asset now which is computed as follows:

(taxable income-income per books)*2019 tax rate

($3,250,000-$2,049,000)*35%=$420,350

Ultimately the correct option is B,a deferred tax asset of $420,350

Option D is wrong because it is the opposite of the correct classification
