Shannon Corporation began operations on January 1, 2019. Financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2020, contained the following errors: In addition, on December 31, 2020, fully depreciated machinery was sold for 10,800 cash, but the sale was not recorded until 2021. There were no other errors during 2019 or 2020, and no corrections have been made for any of the errors. Refer to the information for Shannon Corporation above. Ignoring income taxes, what is the total effect of the errors on the amount of working capital (current assets minus current liabilities) at December 31, 2020? a. working capital overstated by 4,200 b. working capital understated by 5,800 c. working capital understated by 6,000 d. working capital understated by 9,800
It is the end of 2019 and you are an accountant for Stone Company. During 2019, sales of the companys products slumped and the companys earnings are expected to be much less than those of 2018. The president comes to you with an idea. He says, Our companys property, plant, and equipment cost 300,000, and that is the amount we usually report on our balance sheet. However, I just had these assets appraised by an independent appraiser, and she says they are worth 400,000. I think that the company should report the property, plant, and equipment at this amount on its December 31, 2019, balance sheet and should report the 100,000 increase in value as a gain on the 2019 income statement. If we use this approach, it will show how much our company is really worth and increase our earnings. This will make our shareholders happy. What do you think? Required: Prepare a written response to the president.
Trumpet and Trombone Manufacturing, Inc. began the year with a retained earnings balance of $545,000. The company had a great year and earned a net income of $190,000 this year and paid dividends of $14,000. Additionally, the companys controller determined that it had made an error when calculating tax expense in the preceding year, resulting in an understated expense amount of $22,000. What is the ending retained earnings balance?
During 2019, White Company determined that machinery previously depreciated over a 7-year life had a total estimated useful life of only 5 years. An accounting change was made in 2019 to reflect the change in estimate. If the change had been made in 2018, accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2018, would have been 1,600,000 instead of 1,200,000. As a result of this change, the 2019 depreciation expense was 100,000 greater than it would have been if no change were made. Ignoring income tax considerations, what is the proper amount of the adjustment to Whites January 1, 2019, balance of retained earnings? a. 0 b. 100,000 c. 280,000 d. 400,000
Brooks Company reported a prior period adjustment of 512,000 in pretax financial "income" and taxable income for 2020. The prior period adjustment was the result of an error in calculating bad debt expense for 2019. The current tax rate is 30%, and no change in the tax rate has been enacted for future years. When the company applies intraperiod income tax allocation, the prior period adjustment will be shown on the: a. income statement at 12,000 b. income statement at 8,400 (net of 3,600 income taxes) c. retained earnings statement at 12,000 d. retained earnings statement at 8,400 (net of 3,600 income taxes)
Gray Companys financial statements showed income before income taxes of 4,030,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and 3,330,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Additional information is as follows: Capital expenditures were 2,800,000 in 2020 and 4,000,000 in 2019. Included in the 2020 capital expenditures is equipment purchased for 1,000,000 on January 1, 2020, with no salvage value. Gray used straight-line depreciation based on a 10-year estimated life in its financial statements. As a result of additional information now available, it is estimated that this equipment should have only an 8-year life. Gray made an error in its financial statements that should be regarded as material. A payment of 180,000 was made in January 2020 and charged to expense in 2020 for insurance premiums applicable to policies commencing and expiring in 2019. No liability had been recorded for this item at December 31, 2019. The allowance for doubtful accounts reflected in Grays financial statements was 7,000 at December 31, 2020, and 97,000 at December 31, 2019. During 2020, 90,000 of uncollectible receivables were written off against the allowance for doubtful accounts. In 2019, the provision for doubtful accounts was based on a percentage of net sales. The 2020 provision has not yet been recorded. Net sales were 58,500,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020, and 49,230,000 for the year ended December 31, 2019. Based on the latest available facts, the 2020 provision for doubtful accounts is estimated to be 0.2% of net sales. A review of the estimated warranty liability at December 31, 2020, which is included in other liabilities in Grays financial statements, has disclosed that this estimated liability should be increased 170,000. Gray has two large blast furnaces that it uses in its manufacturing process. These furnaces must be periodically relined. Furnace A was relined in January 2014 at a cost of 230,000 and in January 2019 at a cost of 280,000. Furnace B was relined for the first time in January 2020 at a cost of 300,000. In Grays financial statements, these costs were expensed as incurred. Since a relining will last for 5 years, Grays management feels it would be preferable to capitalize and depreciate the cost of the relining over the productive life of the relining. Gray has decided to nuke a change in accounting principle from expensing relining costs as incurred to capitalizing them and depreciating them over their productive life on a straight-line basis with a full years depreciation in the year of relining. This change meets the requirements for a change in accounting principle under GAAP. Required: 1. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, prepare a worksheet reconciling income before income taxes as given previously with income before income taxes as adjusted for the preceding additional information. Show supporting computations in good form. Ignore income taxes and deferred tax considerations in your answer. The worksheet should have the following format: 2. As of January 1, 2020, compute the retrospective adjustment of retained earnings for the change in accounting principle from expensing to capitalizing relining costs. Ignore income taxes and deferred tax considerations in your answer.
