Shannon Polymers uses straight-line depreciation for financial reporting purposes for equipment costing $800,000 and with an expected useful life of four years and no residual value. Assume that, for tax purposes, the deduction is 40%, 30%, 20%, and 10% in those years. Pretax accounting income the first year the equipment was used was $900,000, which includes interest revenue of $20,000 from municipal governmental bonds. Other than the two described, there are no differences between accounting income and taxable income. The enacted tax rate is 25%. Prepare the journal entry to record income taxes. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required in the first account field.)
