Prepare a schedule that shows straight line depreciation from 2016 through 2023.
1 (b)
Explanation of Solution
Straight-line Depreciation: Under the straight-line method of depreciation, the same amount of depreciation is allocated every year over the estimated useful life of an asset. The formula to calculate the depreciation cost of the asset using the residual value is shown as below:
Prepare a schedule that shows straight line depreciation from 2016 through 2023.
Given, the cost of the asset is $100,000 and the estimated useful life is 8 years. So, the straight line depreciation is $12,500

Prepare a schedule that shows the annual depreciation temporary difference from 2016 through 2023.
1 (c)
Explanation of Solution
Temporary Difference: Temporary difference refers to the difference of one income recognized by the tax rules and accounting rules of a company in different periods. Consequently the difference between the amount of assets and liabilities reported in the financial reports and the amount of assets and liabilities as per the company’s tax records is known as temporary difference.
Prepare a schedule that shows the annual depreciation temporary difference from 2016 through 2023:
Year | MACRS Depreciation (Tax purpose) | Straight line Depreciation (Financial reporting purpose) | Temporary difference of annual depreciation |
2016 | $20,000 | $12,500 | $7,500 |
2017 | $32,000 | $12,500 | $19,500 |
2018 | $19,200 | $12,500 | $6,700 |

Income tax payable (2) | $13,200 | |||
Deferred tax liability | $2,250 | |||
(To record the income tax payable ) |
Table (7)
- Income tax expense is an expense that decreases the
stockholder’s equity and it is increased. Thus, it is debited. - Income tax Payable is a liability and it is increased. Thus, it is credited.
- Deferred tax liability is a liability and it is increased. Thus, it is credited.
Working note 1: Determine the income tax expense:
Working note 2: Determine the income tax payable:
Given, the taxable income is $44,000 and the tax rate is 30%.
Note: The deferred tax liability is $2,250 for year 2016 as computed in Table (6).

Elaborate the effects of the balance of deferred tax liability from 2016 through 2023.
4.
Explanation of Solution
As per table (5), the balance of the deferred tax liability account increases (originates) at the end of 2016 from $2,250 to $10,110 in 2018 , and then declines (reverses) at the end of 2019 through 2023, which reduces to zero at the end of 2023.
