Expert Solution
Step 1

The temporary difference arises when the taxable income according to the accounting record is different from taxable as per tax rules. The tax liability of the taxpayer is determined based on taxable income as per tax return. The temporary difference normally arises because of the tax basis if the asset or liability is different from the book value.
