During 2021, a construction company that began operations in 2019 changed from the completed-contract method to the percentage-of-completion method for accounting purposes but not for tax purposes. Gross profit figures under both methods for the past three years appear below:

    Completed-Contract   Percentage-of-Completion
2019     $  385000       $  790000  
2020     525000       850000  
2021     600000       950000  
      $1510000       $2590000  



Assuming an income tax rate of 30% for all years and that comparative statements are not issued, the effect of this accounting change on prior periods should be reported by a increase of

$511000 on the 2021 income statement.
$755000 on the 2021 retained earnings statement.
$511000 on the 2021 retained earnings statement.
$755000 on the 2021 income statement.
