Let $G$ be the group of power series $x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+\cdots\in R[[x]]$ under substitution, where $R$ is a commutative ring with $1\neq 0$ of prime characteristic $p$. Given any $n\geq 1$, the subgroup $K_n=\{x+a_{n+1}x^{n+1}+a_{n+2}x^{n+2}+\cdots\,|\, a_i\in R\}$ is normal in $G$, and the quotient $G_n=G/K_n$ is the group of truncated polynomials over $R$ of degree $\leq n$ under substitution. In this paper, we compute the exponent of the image of $K_r$ in $G_n$, for all $r,n\geq 1$, indicating in every case a family of elements realizing this exponent.
