As a result of his review, he instructed the company's chief accountant to correct the error below: In 20x2, the company made extensive improvements to the baking process and installed a substantial amount of new equipment. The entire cost of the process improvements and equipment was accidentally charged to income as restructuring expense in 20x2. However, the equipment should have been capitalized and added to the factory equipment account. The cost of the equipment was $1,200,000. Butch depreciates its factory equipment on the straight-line basis over 10 years. A full year's depreciation is charged in the year that equipment is acquired. The company's tax rate is 30%. Additional information: The Company's net income before taxes was $3,500,000 for 20X2 and $4,400,000 for 20X3. Required: Calculate the impact on Net Income (after taxes) for years, 20X2 and 20X3.
