Lowell Corporation has used the accrual basis of accounting for several years. A review of the records, however, indicates that some expenses and revenues have been handled on a cash basis because of errors made by an inexperienced bookkeeper. Income statements prepared by the bookkeeper reported $29,000 net income for 2019 and $37,000 net income for 2020. Further examination of the records reveals that the following items were handled improperly.
1. Rent was received from a tenant in December 2019. The amount, $1,000, was recorded as revenue at that time even though the rental pertained to 2020.
2. Salaries and wages payable on December 31 have been consistently omitted from the records of that date and have been entered as expenses when paid in the following year. The amounts of the accruals recorded in this manner were:
December 31, 2018
$1,100
December 31, 2019

The following data were in the Trucks account as of January 1, 2016: The Accumulated DepreciationTrucks account, previously adjusted to January 1,2016, and duly entered in the ledger, had a balance on that date of 16,460. This amount represented the straight-line depreciation on the four trucks from the respective dates of purchase, based on a 5-year life and no residual value. No debits had been made to this account prior to January 1, 2016. Transactions between January 1,2017, and December 31, 2019, and their record in the ledger were as follows: 1. July 1, 2016: Truck no. 1 was sold for 1,000 cash. The entry was a debit to Cash and a credit to Trucks, 1,000. 2. January 1, 2017: Truck no. 3 was traded for a larger one (no. 5) with a 5-year life. The agreed purchase price was 12,000. Jarrett paid the other company 1,780 cash on the transaction. The entry was a debit to Trucks, 1,780, and a credit to Cash, 1,780. 3. July 1, 2018: Truck no. 4 was damaged in a wreck to such an extent that it was sold as junk for 50 cash. Jarrett received 950 from the insurance company. The entry made by the bookkeeper was a debit to Cash, 1,000, and credits to Miscellaneous Revenue, 50, and Trucks, 950, 4. July 1, 2018: A new truck (no. 6) was acquired for 20,000 cash and debited at that amount to the Trucks account. The truck has a 5-year life. Entries for depreciation had been made at the close of each year as follows: 2016, 8,840; 2017, 5,436; 2018, 4,896; 2019, 4,356. Required: 1. Next Level For each of the 4 years, calculate separately the increase or decrease in earnings arising from the companys errors in determining or entering depreciation or in recording transactions affecting trucks. 2. Prove your work by one compound journal entry as of December 31, 2019; the adjustment of the Trucks account is to reflect the correct balances, assuming that the books have not been closed for 2019.arrow_forwardAt the end of 2019, Framber Company received 8,000 as a prepayment for renting a building to a tenant during 2020. The company erroneously recorded the transaction by debiting Cash and crediting Rent Revenue in 2019 instead of 2020. Upon discovery of this error in 2020, what correcting journal entry will Framber make? Ignore income taxes.arrow_forward
- A review of Anderson Corporations books indicates that the errors and omissions pertaining to the balance sheet accounts shown as follows had not been corrected during the applicable years. The net income per the books is: 2017, 10,000; 2018, 12,000; 2019, 15,000; and 2020, 20,000. No dividends were declared during these years and no adjustments were made to retained earnings. The Retained Earnings balance on December 31, 2020, is 50,000. Omissions Required: Determine the correct net income for the years 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020, and the adjusted balance sheet accounts as of December 31, 2020. Ignore possible income tax effects.arrow_forwardThe following are independent errors: a. In January 2019, repair costs of 9,000 were debited to the Machinery account. At the beginning of 2019, the book value of the machinery was 100,000. No residual value is expected, the remaining estimated life is 10 years, and straight-line depreciation is used. b. All purchases of materials for construction contracts still in progress have been immediately expensed. It is discovered that the use of these materials was 10,000 during 2018 and 12,000 during 2019. c. Depreciation on manufacturing equipment has been excluded from manufacturing costs and treated as a period expense. During 2019, 40,000 of depreciation was accounted for in that manner. Production was 15,000 units during 2019, of which 3,000 remained in inventory at the end of the year. Assume there was no inventory at the beginning of 2019. Required: Prepare journal entries for the preceding errors discovered during 2020. Ignore income taxes.arrow_forwardIt is February 16, 2020, and you are auditing Davenport Corporation's financial statements for 2019 (which will be issued in March 2020). You read in the newspaper that Travis Corporation, a major customer of Davenport, is in financial difficulty. Included in Davenports accounts receivable is 50,000 (a material amount) owed to it by Travis. You approach Jim Davenport, president, with this information and suggest that a reduction of accounts receivable and recognition of a loss for 2019 might be appropriate. Jim replies, Why should we make an adjustment? Ted Travis, the president of Travis Corporation, is a friend of mine; he will find a way to pay us, one way or another. Furthermore, this occurred in 2020, so lets wait and see what happens; we can always make an adjustment later this year. Our 2019 income and year-end working capital are not that high; our creditors and shareholders wouldnt stand for lower amounts than they already are. Required: From financial reporting and ethical perspectives, prepare a response to Jim Davenport regarding this issue.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardDuring 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. 400,000arrow_forwardBrooks 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)arrow_forward
- Refer to the information for Cox Inc. above. What amount would Cox record as depreciation expense at December 31, 2020, if the double-declining-balance method were used? a. $187,200 b. $192,000 c. $195,200 d. $312, 000arrow_forwardThe balance in Ashwood Companys accounts payable account at December 31, 2019, was 1,200,000 before any necessary year-end adjustment relating to the following: Goods were in transit from a vendor to Ashwood on December 31, 2019. The invoice cost was 85,000, and the goods were shipped FOB shipping point on December 29, 2019. The goods were received on January 2, 2020. Goods shipped FOB shipping point on December 20, 2019, from a vendor to Ashwood were lost in transit. The invoice cost was 40,000. On January 5, 2020, Ashwood filed a 40,000 claim against the common carrier. Goods shipped FOB destination on December 22, 2019, from a vendor to Ashwood were received on January 6, 2020. The invoice cost was 20,000, What amount should Ashwood report as accounts payable on its December 31,2019, balance sheet? a. 1,260,000 b. 1,285,000 c. 1,325,000 d. 1,345,000arrow_forwardGray 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.arrow_forward
