For the current year ($ in millions), Centipede Corp. had $80 in pretax accounting income. This included warranty expense of $6 and $20 in depreciation expense. Two million of warranty costs were incurred, and MACRS depreciation amounted to $35. In the absence of other temporary or permanent differences, what was Centipede's income tax payable currently, assuming a tax rate of 25%?

Answer 1

$17.25 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine what was Centipede's income tax payable currently, assuming a tax rate of 25%

Accounting income $80 Temporary difference

Less Depreciation ($15)

($35 - 20)

Add Warranty expense $4

($6 - $2)

Taxable income $69

($80-$15+$4)

Enacted tax rate 25%

Tax payable currently $17.25 million

($69$25%)

Therefore Centipede's income tax payable currently, assuming a tax rate of 25% will be $17.25 million
