Answer 1.
Since tax depreciation to date has been $100,000 ($300,000 -$200,000) more than depreciation for financial reporting purposes, a future taxable amount will occur when the temporary difference reverses. This means a deferred tax liability should be reported to reflect the future tax consequences of the temporary difference. At this point, that amount is $100,000 times 35%, or $35,000
Therefore,
Deferred Tax Liability = $35,000 (To be reported in Balance Sheet)
