Answer 1

D. $210 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Data given

Decrease in deferred tax assets = $30

Increase in deferred tax liabilities = $60

Taxable income = $300

Tax rate = 40%

The computation of total income tax expense is given below:-

Income tax Payable = $300 × 40%

= $120

Total income tax expenses = Income tax Payable + Decrease in deferred tax assets + Increase in deferred tax liabilities

= $120 + $30 million + $60 million

= $210 million

So, for computing the total income tax expense we simply applied the above formula.
