Expert Solution
Step 1

From 2018 to 2020, Equipment has been used for 2 years.

 

In 2018, Equipment was expensed for 57,000 but now it should have been expensed for only $22,800 (2-year depreciation).

 

The overcharged expense also leads to less tax which was $17,100 (57,000*30%). Now tax liability occurs for 3 years life left for the equipment, ie $10,260 (17,100 * 3/5).

 

The balance would go the Retained Earnings, (it is a difference of increase in income as an expense of equipment has been reduced and decrease in income as expense of tax has been increased).
