Gordon Company started operations on January 1, 2012, and has used the FIFO method of inventory valuation since its inception. In 2018, it decides to switch to the average-cost method. You are provided with the following information.

Net Income Retained Earnings (Ending Balance) Under FIFO Under Average-Cost Under FIFO 2012 \(100,000 \) 90,000 $100,000 2013 70,000 65,000 160,000 2014 90,000 80,000 235,000 2015 120,000 130,000 340,000 2016 300,000 290,000 590,000 2017 305,000 310,000 780,000

(b) What is the beginning retained earnings balance at January 1, 2017, if Gordon prepares comparative financial statements starting in 2017?

Botticelli Inc. was organized in late 2015 to manufacture and sell hosiery. At the end of its fourth year of operation, the company has been fairly successful, as indicated by the following reported net incomes.

2015 \(140,000a 2017 \)205,000

2016 160,000b 2018 276,000

a Includes a \(10,000 increase because of change in bad debt experience rate.

bIncludes a gain of \)30,000.

The company has decided to expand operations and has applied for a sizable bank loan. The bank officer has indicated that the records should be audited and presented in comparative statements to facilitate analysis by the bank. Botticelli Inc. therefore hired the auditing firm of Check & Doublecheck Co. and has provided the following additional information.

1. In early 2016, Botticelli Inc. changed its estimate from 2% of sales to 1% on the amount of bad debt expense to be charged to operations. Bad debt expense for 2015, if a 1% rate had been used, would have been \(10,000. The company therefore restated its net income for 2015.

2. In 2018, the auditor discovered that the company had changed its method of inventory pricing from LIFO to FIFO. The effect on the income statements for the previous years is as follows.

2015 2016 2017 2018

Net income unadjusted鈥擫IFO basis \)140,000 \(160,000 \)205,000 \(276,000

Net income unadjusted鈥擣IFO basis 155,000 165,000 215,000 260,000

\) 15,000 \( 5,000 \) 10,000 \( (16,000)

3. In 2018, the auditor discovered that:

(a) The company incorrectly overstated the ending inventory (under both LIFO and FIFO) by \)14,000 in 2017.

(b) A dispute developed in 2016 with the Internal Revenue Service over the deductibility of entertainment expenses. In 2015, the company was not permitted these deductions, but a tax settlement was reached in 2018 that allowed these expenses. As a result of the court鈥檚 finding, tax expenses in 2018 were reduced by $60,000.

Instructions

(a) Indicate how each of these changes or corrections should be handled in the accounting records. (Ignore income tax considerations.)

(b) Present net income as reported in comparative income statements for the years 2015 to 2018

Joy Cunningham Co. purchased a machine on January 1, 2015, for $550,000. At that time, it was estimated that the machine would have a 10-year life and no salvage value. On December 31, 2018, the firm鈥檚 accountant found that the entry for depreciation expense had been omitted in 2016. In addition, management has informed the accountant that the company plans to switch to straight-line depreciation, starting with the year 2018. At present, the company uses the sum-of-the-years鈥�-digits method for depreciating equipment. Instructions Prepare the general journal entries that should be made at December 31, 2018, to record these events. (Ignore tax effects.)
