past three years appear below:

The company reports two years of comparative statements. Assuming an income tax rate of 20% for all years, the effect of this
accounting change on prior periods after taxes should be reported by a credit of
O $616000 on the 2024 income statement.
O $356000 on the 2023 retained earnings statement.
O $896000 on the 2023 income statement.
