You are working in EPL's accounting department and have been asked to prepare a preliminary estimate of the income tax expense. The current tax expense will not be paid until the next fiscal year. The controller of EPL provides you with the following few notes to help you get started:

• The depreciation expense relates to a new machine that was acquired on January 1, 2020, for $5 million and has a useful life of 20 years. This machinery is included as class 43 (30%) for CCA purposes. Note that the half-year rule is in effect for tax purposes.

• EPL provides an assurance-type warranty on its bookbinding for corporate clients. Corporate clients can return their bound material over a two-year period if the glue breaks down. No books have been returned for rebinding during 2020; however, estimated expenses have been recognized in the current year.

• The lease expense is related to a 3D printer that is being leased for two years for $34,525 per year. The printer has an expected useful life of five years. There is no provision in the lease that would allow EPL to purchase the printer. If purchased, the printer would cost $150,000.

• Included in wages and benefits is accrued pension expense of $7,500. During the year the company contributed $5,000 to its Defined Benefit plan (which was set up at the beginning of the year).

EPL has an average tax rate of 35% and an incremental borrowing rate of 10%. EPL follows ASPE.
