Sanju06,  am I to apply the same method to this question?  Please help.

Zeff Co. prepared the following reconciliation of its pretax financial statement income to taxable income for the year ended December 31, 20X4, its first year of operations:

Pretax financial income $160,000 
Nontaxable interest received on municipal securities (5,000)
Long-term loss accrual in excess of deductible amount 10,000  
Depreciation in excess of financial statement amount (25,000)
Taxable income $140,000  

Zeff's tax rate for 20X4 is 40%.

In its December 31, 20X4, balance sheet, what should Zeff report as deferred income tax liability?

a 2000
b 4000
c 6000
d 8000

The answer is 6000,  I dont understand why did they use the 25 - 10 * 40% to calculate the deferred income tax liability

Yes, you would be applying the same method here also:-

For the year ended December 31, 2004 ; taxable income is $140,000

Temporary differences b/w financial & taxable income =

excess depreciation claimed in tax return (income goes down)$25,000

less. long term loss deducted less in tax return this year (income goes up) (10,000) 

Net temporary differences = $15,000

It means that in the future years, taxable income would go up by $15,000 compared to financial income.

Thus, it results in a deferred tax liability = 15,000*40% = $6,000

Hope it helps!

Thanks!!! I am finally getting them correct and understanding the concept clearer now.  I can move on to another topic.

I ve got a little (silly) mnemonic for this:

When FT (financial times) makes income then you are liable paying them-"deferred liability". FT stands for financial income before tax income

When FT incurrs expenses then you are lucky and you have and an asset!-"deferred asset". FT stands for financial expense before tax expense.

The exactly opposite for TF income-"asset" and TF expense-"liability"

I know it sounds silly but...helps me

I found this website where they explained deferred taxes in a very simple manner.  Try it and you'll understand some major parts of it.
