Question:
At the end of 2013, Fulhage Company reported taxable income of $9,000 and pretax financial income of $10,600.

The income tax rate for the current year is 40%, but Congress has enacted tax rates of 35% for 2014 and 30% for 2015 and beyond.
Fulhage has calculated the excess of its financial depreciation over its tax depreciation for future years as follows: 2014, $600; 2015, $700; and 2016, $300. Prior to 2013, the company had no deferred tax liability or asset.
