The company's most recent balance sheet given below. The business uses the straight-line depreciation method, by which an equal amount of depreciation is allocated to each year of a fixed asset's estimated useful life. If the business had used accelerated depreciation for its fixed assets instead, the balance in the accumulated depreciation account would be $2,100,000. How would its balance sheet be different if the business had used accelerated depreciation? (Ignore income tax effects in your answer.)
