Pretax financial income	$3,000
Add: Estimated expense on 1-year warranties recognized for financial reporting in excess of actual warranty costs deducted for income taxes	100
Less: MACRS depreciation deducted for income taxes in excess of depreciation recognized for financial reporting	(150)
Taxable income	$2,950

At the beginning of 2019, Wilcox had a deferred tax liability of $495. The current tax rate is 30%, and no change in the tax rate has been enacted for future years. At the end of 2019, Wilcox anticipates that actual warranty costs will exceed estimated warranty expense by $100 next year and that financial depreciation will exceed tax depreciation by $1,800 in future years. Wilcox has earned income in all past years and expects to earn income in the future.

2.	Prepare the lower portion of Wilcox’s 2019 income statement.
