Requirement 3

In a classified balance sheet, deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are classified as either current or noncurrent according to how the related assets or liabilities are classified for financial reporting. Both the deferred tax liability arising from installment sales and deferred tax asset arising from warranties would be classified as part current and part noncurrent because the related installment receivable and estimated warranty liability would properly be classified as part current and part noncurrent. The deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets are offset to get the net current and the net noncurrent amounts:

Current Liabilities:

Deferred tax liability $39,000
($45,000 - 6,000)

Long-Term Liabilities:

Deferred tax liability $164,000

([$100,000 + 80,000] – [10,000 + 6,000])
