In addition to pretax income from continuing operations (of which revenues are 295,000), the following items are included in this pretax income: Colts taxable income totals 93,000 in 2019. The difference between the pretax financial income and the taxable income is due to the excess of tax depreciation over financial depreciation on assets used in continuing operations. At the beginning of 2019, Colt had a retained earnings balance of 310.000 and a deferred tax liability of 8,100. During 2019, Colt declared and paid dividends of 48,000. It is subject to tax rates of 15% on the first 50,000 of income and 30% on income in excess of 50,000.
