| Note to instructor: Because of the flat tax rate for all years, the amount of cumulative temporary difference existing at the beginning of the year can be calculated by dividing $92,000 by 40%, which equals $230,000. The difference between the $230,000 cumulative temporary difference at the beginning of 2014 and the $350,000 cumulative temporary difference at the end of 2014 represents the net amount of temporary difference originating during 2014 (which is $120,000). With this information, we can reconcile pretax financial income with taxable income as follows: | ||||||
