Three years after its purchase, one of Kara’s buildings has a book value of $400,000 and a tax basis of $300,000. There were no other temporary differences and no permanent differences. Taxable income was $4 million and Kara’s tax rate is 25%. What is the deferred tax liability to be reported in the balance sheet?
