Response to the following problem:
Last year, Owens, Inc., reported bad debt expense of $150,000. During the current year, Owens discovered that its bad debt expense for last year should have been $175,000. Owens' retained earnings had a balance of $250,000 at the beginning of the current year. Owens is subject to a 30% income tax rate.
Show how Owens, Inc., would report the correction of its error on its statement of retained earnings for the current year.
