Correction of understatement of depredation expense In prior years, net of tax = $860,000

Dividend declared = $640,000

Net income = $2,000,000

Retained earnings = $4,000,000

Now the adjusted retained earning as on 01.01.2014 is

= Retained earnings - Correction of understatement of depredation expense In prior years, net of tax

= $4,000,000 - $860,000
