Rainbow also had nondeductible book expenses of $30,000 related to permanent differences. Rainbow’s tax rate for 2019 was 25%, and the enacted rate for years after 2019 is 30%. In its December 31, 2019, balance sheet, what amount of deferred income tax liability should Rainbow report?

Answer 1

30.000

Differed tax liability (C*D) $30,000
