Answer:

i. Deferred income taxes balance on  December 2019 is $192,500

ii. Deferred tax asset.

Explanation:

Year   Tax purpose   Book purpose   Difference   Deferred tax book

2017      $400,000          $0                $400,000        $140,000

2018      $625,000     $375,000         $250,000        $87,500

2019      $750,000     $850,000        ($100,000)        ($35,000)

Deferred tax asset balance on  December 2019 =   $192,500

Working

Deferred tax book

2017 = 400,000 * 35% =  $140,000

2018 = 250,000 * 35% = $87,500

2019 = (100,000) * 35% = ($35,000)

ii. Book income is less than tax income in 2017 and 2018. Deferred tax asset would be accounted. Book income is higher than tax income in 2019. Deferred tax asset would be reverse (i.e. deferred tax liability). Balance at the end of December 31, 2019 would be Deferred tax asset.
