At December 31, 20X1, the tax return records of Garner Corporation reflected the following information: Revenue $100,000, Operating Expenses (excluding depreciation) $66,000, and Depreciation Expense (MACRS) $7,000. Garner's income tax rate is 30%. Garner is considering using the straight-line depreciation method for financial statement reporting, in which case depreciation expense would be $4,000. What would be the difference in pretax income between using the straight-line method versus an accelerated method of depreciation? (Hint: Set up a basic income statement for each depreciation method.)
