    The income tax expense for 2019 is $128,000

    Explanation:

    Income tax payable for 2019 is $132,000

    Deferred tax asset for 2018 will be:

    (128,000-112,000) * 25%

    =16000 x 25%

    =$4,000

    Income Tax Expenses for 2019 will be:

    Income tax payable - Deferred Tax asset

    =$132,000 - $4,000

    =$128,000
