Problem
Kara Fashions uses straight-line depreciation for financial statement reporting and MACRS for income tax reporting. Three years after its purchase, one of Kara's buildings has a book value of $1,000,000 and a tax basis of $750,000. There were no other temporary differences and no permanent differences. Taxable income was $6 million and Kara's tax rate is 25%.
What is the deferred tax liability to be reported in the balance sheet? Assuming that the deferred tax liability balance was $35,000 the previous year, prepare the appropriate journal entry to record income taxes this year.
