At the end of 2015, Payne Industries had a deferred tax asset account with a balance of $30 million attributable to a temporary booktax difference of $75 million in a liability for estimated expenses. At the end of 2016, the temporary difference is $70 million. Payne has no other temporary differences and no valuation allowance for the deferred tax asset. Taxable income for 2016 is $180 million and the tax rate is 40%.
