Answer:
There is a $3,500.00 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$7,000 = $51,000.00 - $44,000.00
Finally, multiply the excess or deficit from above by the tax rate.
DEFERRED TAX =
EXCESS TAX OVER BOOK *
TAX RATE$3,500.00 = $7,000 * 50%
Since the result of the above step is positive, we know that it is a deferred tax asset and not a liability.
