In Year 1, a company has revenues of $600,000 and expenses of $400,000. Of the expenses, $70,000 represents a warranty on a company product. However, the company only paid $30,000 as a result of this warranty. The remainder is expected to be paid in a future year in which company officials believe there is a 60% chance that the company will have taxable income to be reduced by this warranty cost. The relevant tax rate is 30% for Year 1 and 32% for periods after that. What is the total amount of income tax expense to be recognized in Year 1?
