The temporary difference is $75,000 (the value of the losses available
for carry forward). However, a deferred tax asset can only be recognised
to the extent itis probable that these losses can be utilised and, based |
rcurent estimates, the recoverability is only $50,000 (2 x $25,000

Therefore a deterred tax asset of only$50,000 = 30% = $15,000 can be
