Charlie Brown, controller for Kelly Corporation, is preparing the company's income statement at year-end. He notes that the company lost a considerable sum on the sale of some equipment it had decided to replace. Since the company has sold equipment routinely in the past, Brown knows the losses cannot be reported as an unusual item. He also does not want to highlight it as a material loss since he feels that will reflect poorly on him and the company. He reasons that if the company had recorded more depreciation during the assets' lives, the losses would not be so great. Since depreciation is included among the company's operating expenses, he wants to report the losses along with the company's expenses, where he hopes it will not be noticed.
Answer the following questions:
(a) What are the ethical issues involved?
(b) What should Brown do?

- Birmingham Company has been in business for five years. Last year, it experienced rapid growth and hired a new accountant to oversee the physical assets and record acquisitions and depreciation.

- John Smith mistakenly expensed the cost of a long-term tangible fixed asset. Specifically, he charged the cost of a truck to a delivery expense account. How will this error affect the income statement and the balance sheet in the year in which the mistake is made?arrow_forward2. The accountant of Swift Inc. was preparing for the audit of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and discovered that an automobile was being incorrectly depreciated. The automobile was purchased on January 1, 2021, for $50,000 and the estimated residual value after five years was expected to be $5,000.The company uses the straight-line basis for depreciating vehicles, but the residual value was not considered when determining the depreciation amount. The financial controller informed the accountant that the company was switching to the double- declining balance method of depreciation for the current and future years, as it was believed this method would more accurately portray the consumption of benefits received from the asset's use.Required: State whether it is a change in accounting estimate/policy or an accounting error.

Show all workingsarrow_forwardThe assistant financial controller of the Negril Group(NG), a public listed company, has identified the matters below which she believes may indicate an impairment to one or more assets: NG owns and operates an item of plant that cost $2,600,000 and had accumulated depreciation of $1,700,000 at 1 October 2014. It is being depreciated at 12% on cost. On 1 April 2015 (exactly half way through the year) the plant was damaged when a factory vehicle collided into it. Due to the unavailability of replacement parts, it is not possible to repair the plant, but it still operates, albeit at a reduced capacity. Also it is expected that as a result of the damage the remaining life of the plant from the date of the damage will be only two years. Based on its reduced capacity, the estimated present value of the plant in use is $700,000. The plant has a current disposal value of $120,000 (which will be nil in two years' time), but NG has been offered a trade–in value of $900,000 against a replacement…arrow_forward
