Partially correct answer icon

Your answer is partially correct.

For each of the 4 years, compute separately the increase or decrease in net income arising from the companys errors in determining or entering depreciation or in recording transactions affecting trucks, ignoring income tax considerations. (Enter credit, understated and decrease amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -45 or parentheses e.g. (45).)
