Prepare the journal entries for the following situations.

1.		Assuming it is more likely than not that $27,000 of the deferred tax asset will not be realized, prepare the journal entries to record income taxes for 2020. Pina Colada does not use a valuation allowance account.
2.		In 2021, the companys prospects improved. While there was no change in the temporary deductible differences underlying the Deferred Tax Asset account, it was now considered more likely than not that the company would be able to make full use of the temporary differences. Prepare the entry, if applicable, to adjust the Deferred Tax Asset account.
