(Error Correction Entries) The first audit of the books of Bruce Gingrich Company was made for the year ended December 31, 2018. In examining the books, the auditor found that certain items had been overlooked or incorrectly handled in the last 3 years.

These items are:

1. At the beginning of 2016, the company purchased a machine for \(510,000 (salvage value of \)51,000) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base for the 3 years.

2. At the end of 2017, the company failed to accrue sales salaries of \(45,000.

3. A tax lawsuit that involved the year 2016 was settled late in 2018. It was determined that the company owed an additional \)85,000 in taxes related to 2016. The company did not record a liability in 2016 or 2017 because the possibility of loss was considered remote, and charged the \(85,000 to a loss account in 2018.

4. Gingrich Company purchased a copyright from another company early in 2016 for \)45,000. Gingrich had not amortized the copyright because its value had not diminished. The copyright has a useful life at purchase of 20 years.

5. In 2018, the company wrote off $87,000 of inventory considered to be obsolete; this loss was charged directly to Retained Earnings. Instructions Prepare the journal entries necessary in 2018 to correct the books, assuming that the books have not been closed. Disregard effects of corrections on income tax.

The before-tax income for Lonnie Holdiman Co. for 2017 was \(101,000 and \)77,400 for 2018. However, the accountant noted that the following errors had been made:

1. Sales for 2017 included amounts of \(38,200 which had been received in cash during 2017, but for which the related products were delivered in 2018. Title did not pass to the purchaser until 2018.

2. The inventory on December 31, 2017, was understated by \)8,640.

3. The bookkeeper in recording interest expense for both 2017 and 2018 on bonds payable made the following entry on an annual basis. Interest Expense 15,000 Cash 15,000

The bonds have a face value of \(250,000 and pay a stated interest rate of 6%. They were issued at a discount of \)15,000 on January 1, 2017, to yield an effective-interest rate of 7%. (Assume that the effective-yield method should be used.)

4. Ordinary repairs to equipment had been erroneously charged to the Equipment account during 2017 and 2018. Repairs in the amount of \(8,500 in 2017 and \)9,400 in 2018 were so charged. The company applies a rate of 10% to the balance in the Equipment account at the end of the year in its determination of depreciation charges.

Instructions

Prepare a schedule showing the determination of corrected income before taxes for 2017 and 2018

Presented below are income statements prepared on a LIFO and FIFO basis for Kenseth Company, which started operations on January 1, 2016. The company presently uses the LIFO method of pricing its inventory and has decided to switch to the FIFO method in 2017. The FIFO income statement is computed in accordance with the requirements of GAAP. Kenseth’s profit-sharing agreement with its employees indicates that the company will pay employees 10% of income before profit-sharing. Income taxes are ignored. LIFO Basis FIFO Basis 2017 2016 2017 2016 Sales \(3,000 \)3,000 \(3,000 \)3,000 Cost of goods sold 1,130 1,000 1,100 940 Operating expenses 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 Income before profi t-sharing 870 1,000 900 1,060 Profi t-sharing expense 87 100 96 100 Net income \( 783 \) 900 \( 804 \) 960 Instructions Answer the following questions. (a) If comparative income statements are prepared, what net income should Kenseth report in 2016 and 2017? (b) Explain why, under the FIFO basis, Kenseth reports \(100 in 2016 and \)96 in 2017 for its profit-sharing expense. (c) Assume that Kenseth has a beginning balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2017, of \(900 using the LIFO method. The company declared and paid dividends of \)500 in 2017. Prepare the -retained earnings statement for 2017, assuming that Kenseth has switched to the FIFO method.

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 \(29,000 net income for 2016 and \)37,000 net income for 2017. Further examination of the records reveals that the following items were handled improperly.

1. Rent was received from a tenant in December 2016. The amount, \(1,000, was recorded as revenue at that time even though the rental pertained to 2017.

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, 2015 \)1,100

December 31, 2016 1,200

December 31, 2017 940

3. Invoices for supplies purchased have been charged to expense accounts when received. Inventories of supplies on hand at the end of each year have been ignored, and no entry has been made for them.

December 31, 2015 $1,300

December 31, 2016 940

December 31, 2017 1,420

Instructions

Prepare a schedule that will show the corrected net income for the years 2016 and 2017. All items listed should be labeled clearly. (Ignore income tax considerations.)

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

Instructions (a) What is the beginning retained earnings balance at January 1, 2014, if Gordon prepares comparative financial statements starting in 2014?

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

(c) What is the beginning retained earnings balance at January 1, 2018, if Gordon prepares single-period financial statements for 2018?

(d) What is the net income reported by Gordon in the 2017 income statement if it prepares comparative financial statements starting with 2015?
