    Dr income expense ($33450 + $2500) $35950

    Cr income tax payable $33450

    Cr deferred income tax $2500

    Explanation:

    The adjusted taxable income adjusted for disallowed insurance expense of $4,400 as well as the excess depreciation (timing difference) of $10,000

    Pretax financial income $139,400

    add:

    disallowed expense $4,400

    less:

    additional depreciation ($10,000)

    Adjusted taxable income $133,800

    income tax expense is $133800 * 25%=$33450

    deferred tax liability = $10,000*25%=$2500

    total tax expense for the year is 35950 ($33450+$2500)
