Wait, why would it go to other comprehensive income? That seems off.

The carrying value being greater means a deferred tax liability, right?

This question feels similar to one we practiced where the carrying value exceeded the tax base. I think it was option C, but I might be mixing it up.

I remember something about deferred tax provisions being linked to comprehensive income, but I can't recall if that's relevant here.

I think the journal entry should involve debiting the tax expense since we're recognizing a deferred tax liability, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on deferred tax accounting to make sure I understand the proper treatment for this situation.

Okay, I've got this. The key is to recognize that since the carrying value is greater than the tax base, there will be a deferred tax liability. The journal entry should be to debit the deferred tax provision and credit tax expense.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the wording here. I'll need to re-read the question and think through the implications of the difference between the carrying value and tax base.

This question is testing my understanding of deferred tax accounting. I'll need to carefully consider the relationship between the carrying value and tax base of the non-current assets.
