In 2013, Sader Construction Company Ltd. applied the completed-contract method of accounting for long-term construction contracts. However in 2014, Sader discovered that the percentage-of-completion method should have been applied instead. For tax purposes, the company uses the completed-contract method and will continue this approach in the future. Sader follows ASPE, and will apply the percentage-of-completion method in 2014 and in the future. Sader applies the deferred taxes method of accounting for income taxes, and is subject to a tax rate of 30%. The appropriate information related to this change is as follows:

Instructions
