Galaxy Technologies reported a net profit of $120,000 for the year ended 31 December 2015. It was later discovered that $15,000 paid for the purchase of equipment had been incorrectly debited to the repairs and maintenance account. The company's policy is to depreciate equipment at 25% per year on the straight- line basis, with a full year's charge in the year of acquisition. What would the net profit be after adjusting for this error?
