Zekany Corporation would have had identical income before taxes on both its income tax returns and income statements for the years 2016 through 2019 except for differences in depreciation on an operational asset. The asset cost $110,000 and is depreciated for income tax purposes in the following amounts:

2016

$

36,300

2017

48,400

2018

16,500

2019

8,800

The operational asset has a four-year life and no residual value. The straight-line method is used for financial reporting purposes.

Income amounts before depreciation expense and income taxes for each of the four years were as follows.

	2016			2017			2018			2019
Accounting income before taxes and depreciation	$	70,000		$	90,000		$	80,000		$	80,000

Assume the average and marginal income tax rate for 2016 and 2017 was 30%; however, during 2017 tax legislation was passed to raise the tax rate to 40% beginning in 2018. The 40% rate remained in effect through the years 2018 and 2019. Both the accounting and income tax periods end December 31.
