on both its income tax returns and income statements for the years
2018 through 2021 except for differences in depreciation on an
operational asset. The asset cost $100,000 and is depreciated for
income tax purposes in the following amounts:

2021 | 8,000 | ||

purposes.
Income amounts before depreciation expense and income taxes for
each of the four years were as follows.
2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 | |||||||||

effect through the years 2020 and 2021. Both the accounting and
income tax periods end December 31.
