- At the beginning of 2016, Norris Company had a deferred tax liability of $6,600, because of the use of MACRS depreciation for income tax purposes and units-of-production depreciation for financial reporting. The income tax rate is 30% for 2015 and 2016, but in 2015 Congress enacted a 39% tax rate for 2017 and future years. Norris’s accounting records show the following pretax items of financial income for 2016: income from continuing operations, $120,300 (revenues of $351,500 and expenses of $231,200); gain on disposal of Division F, $24,000; loss from operations of discontinued Division F, $11,500; and prior period adjustment, $14,100, due to an error that understated revenue in 2015.
