Below is the net income of Anita Ferreri Instrument Co., a private corporation, computed under the three inventory methods using a periodic system. FIFO Average-Cost LIFO 2015 \(26,000 \)24,000 $20,000 2016 30,000 25,000 21,000 2017 28,000 27,000 24,000 2018 34,000 30,000 26,000

Instructions (Ignore tax considerations.) (a) Assume that in 2018 Ferreri decided to change from the FIFO method to the average-cost method of pricing inventories. Prepare the journal entry necessary for the change that took place during 2018, and show net income reported for 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.

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.)

Tedesco Company changed depreciation methods in 2017 from double-declining-balance to straight-line. Depreciation prior to 2017 under double-declining-balance was \(90,000, whereas straight-line depreciation prior to 2017 would have been \)50,000. Tedesco鈥檚 depreciable assets had a cost of \(250,000 with a \)40,000 salvage value, and an 8-year remaining useful life at the beginning of 2017. Prepare the 2017 journal entries, if any, related to Tedesco鈥檚 depreciable assets

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

Holtzman Company is in the process of preparing its financial statements for 2017. Assume that no entries for depreciation have been recorded in 2017. The following information related to depreciation of fixed assets is provided to you.

1. Holtzman purchased equipment on January 2, 2014, for \(85,000. At that time, the equipment had an estimated useful life of 10 years with a \)5,000 salvage value. The equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 2, 2017, as a result of additional information, the company determined that the equipment has a remaining useful life of 4 years with a \(3,000 salvage value.

2. During 2017, Holtzman changed from the double-declining-balance method for its building to the straight-line method. The building originally cost \)300,000. It had a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of \(30,000. The following computations present depreciation on both bases for 2015 and 2016. 2016 2015 Straight-line \)27,000 \(27,000 Declining-balance 48,000 60,000

3. Holtzman purchased a machine on July 1, 2015, at a cost of \)120,000. The machine has a salvage value of \(16,000 and a useful life of 8 years. Holtzman鈥檚 bookkeeper recorded straight-line depreciation in 2015 and 2016 but failed to consider the salvage value.

Instructions (a) Prepare the journal entries to record depreciation expense for 2017 and correct any errors made to date related to the information provided. (Ignore taxes.)

(b) Show comparative net income for 2016 and 2017. Income before depreciation expense was \)300,000 in 2017, and was $310,000 in 2016. (Ignore taxes.)
