    The answer is given below;

    Explanation:

    Deferred Liability opening $1,260,000

    Deferred Liability as result of new tax rates $3,150,000*20% = ($630,000)

    Net difference deferred tax liability overstated $630,000

    Net Taxable income for the year $5,250,000

    Current Tax Expense (5,250,000*20%) $1,050,000

    Net deferred tax liability to be reported as at 2019 will be $630,000

    The additional amount booked will be reversed by;

    Deferred Tax liability Dr.$630,000

    Deferred Tax Expense Cr.$630,000

    Therefore current tax expense will be $1,050,000-$630,000=$420,000
