A corporation uses MACRS for tax depreciation, resulting in a $20,000 deduction, but uses straight-line for financial reporting, resulting in a $10,000 expense.

With a tax rate of 25%, how should this difference be recorded on the balance sheet?

  1. A $2,500 increase in a Deferred Tax Asset (DTA).
  2. A $2,500 increase in a Deferred Tax Liability (DTL).
  3. A $2,500 decrease in Net Income.
  4. A $10,000 decrease in Cash.
