 Step 6: (b) Explaining the situation that was not used to determine the answer

The following items in the fact situation were not considered to derive the answer to (a) above:

  1. Lobo's balance statement should include the parcel of property, which was purchased for $150,000 as a prospective future development location.
  2. Land and building values were not used by Lobo as described in Mendota's books.
  3. The loss of $12,080 (Schedule 2) sustained on the dismantling of a machine on June 30, 2017, should be reflected in Lobo's income statement's other costs and losses section. The $67,920 in accumulated depreciation (Schedule 3) should be deducted from Lobo's balance sheet's Accumulated Depreciation—Equipment Account.
  4. The $3,000 loss on equipment sale on July 1, 2017 (Schedule 4) should be reflected in Lobo's income statement's other costs and losses section. The $21,000 in accrued depreciation (Schedule 4) should be deducted from Lobo's balance sheet's Accumulated Depreciation—Equipment Account.
