d. $720,000 asset.

Explanation:

At 2014 David Company reported a loss for 2,400,000 which, for taxes purposes wasn't recognized.

Thus, there is a temporary diffrence in favor of the company,

as is paying more income tax today (the 2,400,000 loss is not recognzied thus, more income taxes are being paid)

and then, will pay less than the accounting net income (latter will pay taxes including this loss, thus less income tax)

This is a deffered income tax asset for: 2,400,000 x 30% = 720,000

tax deffered(assets) 720,000 debit

income tax expense  60,000 debit

      cash                                      780,000 credit

hi : ) i found this so i hope this !

"we first find value of tax in dollars.

the difference between the two prices   is: 23. 54 - 22 = 1.54

therefore the sales tax in dollars is 1.54

the tax % will be   (amount of tax / original cost price ) × 100

(1.54 / 22) × 100  → (0.07) × 100 =   7

so the tax rate is 7%

we can double check the answer.

7 % of 22   → (7/100) × 22 → 0.07 × 22 = 1.54

22 + 1.54 = 23.54"
