Exercise 6 (LO 5) Deferred tax liability. Your client, Lewison International, has informed you that it has reached an agreement with Herro Company to acquire all of Herro's assets.

The fair value of Herro's assets, net of all liabilities, is $700,000. All asset book values equal their fair values except for one machine valued at $200,000.
