The machine is used to manufacture a product that will generate annual revenue of $5,000 for three years. Warranty expenses are estimated at 10% of revenues each year; all repairs are provided in Year 3. The tax rate is 40% in all three years. What is the balance at the end of Year 2 of Dowen's deferred tax asset and deferred tax liability?
