question 95

Essay

At the end of the preceding year, World Industries had a deferred tax asset of $17,500,000, attributable to its only temporary difference of $50,000,000 for estimated expenses. At the end of the current year, the temporary difference is $45,000,000. At the beginning of the year there was no valuation account for the deferred tax asset. At year-end, World Industries now estimates that it is more likely than not that one-third of the deferred tax asset will never be realized. Taxable income is $12,000,000 for the current year and the tax rate is 30% for all years.
Required:
Prepare journal entries to record World Industries' income tax expense for the current year. Show well-labeled supporting computations for each component of the journal entries.
