Powell asks for your help. He says: “Something is not right! My company had a fantastic year in 2000; I’m sure it made more than $2,400. | don’t remember much about accounting, but | do recall that ‘accumulated depreciation’ should be subtracted from the cost of an asset to determine its book value.” You agree. After examining the financial statements and related accounting records, you find that, with the exception of office supplies, the amount of each item is correct even though the item might be incorrectly listed in the financial statements. You determine that the office supplies used during the year amount to

$800 and that the office supplies on hand at the end of the year amount to $700.

Required: (1) Review each financial statement and indicate any errors you find.

(2) Prepare a corrected 2000 income statement, statement of changes in owner’s equity, and ending balance sheet.

(3) Compute the profit margin for 2000 to verify or refute C. Powell's claim that his company had a fantastic year.  lop74
