Answer 1

1.

Retained earnings, 1/1/20, as reported = $6,000,000

Tax rate = 40%

Correction of understatement of depreciation expense in prior years, before taxes = $1,075,000

Net effect Correction of understatement of depreciation expense in prior years, after taxes = 1,075,000 - 1,075,000 x 40%

= 1,075,000 - 430,000

= $645,000

Beginning balance of retained earnings after prior period adjustment = Retained earnings, 1/1/20, as reported - Net effect Correction of understatement of depreciation expense in prior years, after taxes

= 6,000,000 - 645,000

= $5,355,000

2.

Income before income tax = $2,500,000

Tax rate = 40%

Income tax expense = Income before income tax x Tax rate

= 2,500,000 x 40%

= $1,000,000

Net income = Income before income tax - Income tax expense

= 2,500,000 - 1,000,000

= $1,500,000
