Explanation:

The question is to determine the deferred tax liability to recognize by Sunland Co. at the end of the year 2017.

Step 1 :

We determine what the Income tax expense is for the year

Income tax expense= Pretax financial income x Income Tax rate

Income tax expense= $1,410,000 x 0.30 = $423,000

Step 2:

Although we recognized receivables as well as instalmental sales for reporting purposes under the accrual method. However, these will be subject to tax when we decide to recognize it in the future.

As such Deferred tax liability = Future Tax Liability

Deferred Tax liability for Sunland Co= Instalmental Sales x Income tax expense

= $1,880,000 x 0.3= $564,000
