Help! Technical Q - Tax depreciation vs FS Depreciation

Hi folks,

I just come across this question while prepping for interviews but kinda struggle with it. Really appreciate your help.

Tax depreciation is $2 million over 5 years, while financial statement depreciation for the asset is $1 million over 5 years. Walk me through the impact of these differences on the financial statements, assuming a tax rate of 40%.
