Accounting
Whispering Winds Corporation purchased equipment very late in 2020. Based on generous capital cost allowance rates provided in the Income Tax Act, Whispering Winds Corporation claimed CCA on its 2020 tax return but did not record any depreciation because the equipment was being tested. This temporary difference will reverse and cause taxable amounts of $35,100 in 2021, $36,300 in 2022, and $44,300 in 2023. Whispering Windss accounting income for 2020 is $249,400 and $209,400 in each of 2021 and 2022, and the tax rate is 30% for all years. There are no deferred tax accounts at the beginning of 2020.
Calculate the deferred tax balances at December 31, 2021 and 2022.
