Answer to Problem 16.1Q

The income tax expenses contain both the current and deferred tax. $12.3 million expense includes $7.9 million as the amount which the company is liable to pay as income tax for the current year and $4.4 million ($12.3million$7.9million) of income tax as deferred tax liability.

Explanation of Solution

Income tax expense combines both current and deferred tax.

Here, the company’s income statement reports income tax expense as $12.3 million and current year’s tax obligation as $7.9 million. So the difference amount of $4.4 million ($12.3million$7.9million) is treated as deferred tax liability.
