    A debit of $85,200.

    Explanation:

    Taxable income:

    = Pre tax accounting income - Interest income from municipal bonds + Accrued warranty costs, estimated to be paid in 2019 - Operating loss carryforward - Installment sales profit, will be taxed in 2019 - Prepaid rent expense, will be used in 2019

    = $1,380,000 - $108,000 + $248,000 - $178,000 - $118,000 - $54,000

    = $1,170,000

    Required closing balance of Deferred Tax Asset:

    = Accrued Warranty costs * Tax rate

    = $248,000 * 40%

    = $99,200

    Additional amount required to be debited to adjust Crane, Inc.'s deferred tax asset:

    = Required closing balance of Deferred Tax Asset - Opening Balance of Deferred Tax Asset (given)

    = $99,200 - $14,000

    = $85,200
