Lance Lawn Services reports warranty expense by estimating the amount that eventually will be paid to satisfy warranties on its product sales. For tax purposes, the expense is deducted when the cost is incurred. At December 31, 2013, Lance has a warranty liability of $2 million and taxable income of $40 million. At December 31, 2012, Lance reported a deferred tax asset of $737,500 related to this difference in reporting warranties, its only temporary difference. The enacted tax rate is 35% each year

Required:
Prepare the appropriate journal entry to record Lance

Warranty liability at 12/31/13 = $2 million.  

This means that the balance in the deferred tax asset should be $700,000

(35% x $2,000,000) = $700,000

Before adjustment, the balance in the deferred tax asset is $737,500.

Therefore, the deferred tax asset needs to be reduced (credited) by  $37,500.

($700,000 - 737,500) = -37,500

there was no passage listed but using the process of elimination i'd say it was d. the high economy would do the opposite. i don't see how low prices would affect it. high unemployment is possible but i feel d is the better answer.

i would say iii (3) because in order to compare a price you have to use as a reference other near stores because it's its
