Requirement – 1

To determine

Errors:

An error is a mistake committed in the process of book-keeping or in accounting.  In some cases, errors may occur but, they will not affect the totals of the trial balance. Such an error can be found while preparing the trial balance or would be indicated by the unusual account balance.

Depreciation:

It refers to the reduction in the monetary value of fixed tangible assets over its useful life due to its wear and tear or, obsolescence. In other words, it is the method of distributing the cost of tangible fixed assets over its estimated useful life.

Straight-line Depreciation:

Under the straight-line method of depreciation, the same amount of depreciation is allocated every year over the estimated useful life of an asset. The formula to calculate the depreciation cost of the asset using the residual value is shown as below:

Depreciation = (Cost of the assetResidual value)Estimated useful life of the asset

To prepare: The correcting journal entries assuming the error was discovered in 2018 before adjusting and closing entries.

Requirement – 2

To determine

To prepare: The correcting journal entry assuming the error was discovered in 2020 after the 2019 financial statements are issued.

The computer was depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated five-year life with an estimated residual value of $10,000. On January 1, 2021, the estimate of useful life was changed to a total of 10 years, and the estimate of residual value was changed to $1,600. Exercise 11-23 (Algo) Part 2 2. Prepare the year-end journal entry for depreciation in 2021. Assume that the company uses the sum-of-the-years' -digits method instead of the straight-line method.

This cost figure included the following expenditures: Purchase price Freight charges Installation charges Annual maintenance charge Total The company estimated an eight-year useful life for the equipment. No residual value is anticipated. The double-declining-balance method was used to determine depreciation expense for 2022 and 2023. In 2024, after the 2023 financial statements were issued, the company decided to switch to the straight-line depreciation method for this equipment. At that time, the company's controller discovered that the original cost of the equipment incorrectly included one year of annual maintenance charges for the equipment. Required: 1. Ignoring income taxes, prepare the appropriate correcting entry for the equipment capitalization error discovered in 2024. 2.…
