Answer:
There is a $2,500.00 deferred tax asset.
Explanation
First, calculate the amount of money above (or below) the amount earned that has been paid.
EXCESS TAX OVER BOOK =
TAX REVENUE -
BOOK REVENUE$5,000 = $67,000.00 - $62,000.00
Finally, multiply the excess or deficit from above by the tax rate.
DEFERRED TAX =
EXCESS TAX OVER BOOK *
TAX RATE$2,500.00 = $5,000 * 50%
Since the result of the above step is positive, we know that it is a deferred tax asset and not a liability.
