Explain whether Colston Company correctly reported the following items in the financial statements:a. In a recent year, the company discovered a clerical error in the prior year’s accounting records. As a result, the reported net income for the previous year was overstated by $45,000. The company corrected this error by restating the prior-year financial statements.b. In a recent year, the company voluntarily changed its method of accounting for longterm construction contracts from the percentage of completion method to the completed contract method. Both methods are acceptable under generally acceptable accounting principles. The cumulative effect of this change was reported as a separate componentof income in the current period income statement.
identify whether it is treated as a prior period adjustment or change in accounting estimate. Upon reviewing customer contracts, the company realizes it mistakenly reported $150,000 in revenue instead of the actual amount earned of $15,000. This mistake occurred two years ago and had a material effect on financial statements.
As a standard practice, the company does not recognize a provision for a guarantee of good operation of the products sold. Based on past statistics, the cost of repairing damage of products sold in the fiscal year amounts to € 500 while the cost of repairing damaged products sold in previous years amounts to € 600. If the balance sheet net worth is 5000, what will be the actual net worth at the end of the fiscal year?
