Explanation:

As we know that

When there is a temporary discrepancy between financial income and taxable income a deferred tax benefit or liability occurs. Temporary difference means an benefit or cost with respect to treatment that has just a timing gap.

Moreover, the Premium on officer's life insurance is tax deductible i.e $15,000  as it is paid by the company due to which difference arise between the financial and taxable income.

And,  

Interest received on municipal bonds $20,000 are mostly exempt from federal income tax.

Therefore, it shows no such difference as it indicates the permanent difference
