B.$5,200.
C.$6,000.
解释：
C is correct.
考点: 递延所得税的计算
解析：题目问第六年的income tax expense，也就是financial accounting的所得税费用。
Income tax expense = Current tax expense + ΔDTL - ΔDTA
Current tax expense =Taxable income×Current tax rate
accounting base 和tax base 的数字指的是depreciable asset扣掉累积折旧的账面价值。第五年年末的时候，accounting base 账面价值还剩10000，tax base 账面已经是零，所以DTL算出来是4000，第六年年末的的时候accounting base和tax base都是零了，所以第六年就没有DTL了，也就是之前累积的DTL第六年实际上已经回转了。
前期税务局算的折旧费用多，公司交的税少，第六年的时候，税务局算的报表已经没有折旧费用了，所以算的应税所得就高了，公司应该交的税就高了，相当于是前期少交的税这一年要补交上了。所以第六年没有新增的DTL，反而是把以前攒下的DTL回转了，相当于△DTL就等于-4000，所以income tax expense是10,000-4,000=6000
第六年的current tax expense=25000×40%=10000
第六年的Income tax expense=10000+(-4000)=6000
前面五年一共欠了4000给税务局，最后为什么不是25000*0.4+4000
