You are the new accountant for this business and you are in the process of preparing the 2022 financial statements when you notice that the $90,000 expenditure was recorded incorrectly in 2020. The tax rate is 35%. The unadjusted balance in retained earnings at January 1,2022 was $500,000. The company had a net income of $250,000 and paid dividends of $25,000 during 2022.
