Problem
Pretax financial income for Lake Inc. is $300,000, and its taxable income is $100,000 for 2018. Its only temporary difference at the end of the period relates to a $70,000 dif- ference due to excess depreciation for tax purposes. If the tax rate is 40% for all periods, compute the amount of income tax expense to report in 2018. No deferred income taxes existed at the beginning of the year.
