Explanation:

a) Data and Analysis:

Pretax financial income = $850,000

add:

1. Life Insurance for officers  13,000

2. Interest on Iowa bonds      (4,000)

Excess Depreciation            (30,700) ($92,100 - $61,405)

Non-tax allowed warranties 45,000 ($55,000 - $10,000)

Adjusted pre-tax income   $873,300

Income tax expense (30%) $261,990

Depreciation Excess/Differences:

Equipment cost = $307,000

Depreciation with straight line (5 years)

Annual accounting depreciation expense = $61,400 ($307,000/5)

Annual taxation depreciation expense = $92,100 ($307,000 * 30%)

Deferred tax liability:

Excess Depreciation            (30,700) * 30% =  $9,210

Deferred tax asset:

Non-tax allowed warranties 45,000 * 30$ = $13,550
