On March 5, 2016, you were hired by Hemingway Inc., a closely held company, as a staff member of its newly created internal auditing department. While reviewing the company’s records for 2014 and 2015, you discover that no adjustments have yet been made for the items listed below.

Items 1. Interest income of £14,100 was not accrued at the end of 2014. It was recorded when received in February 2015.

2. A computer costing £4,000 was expensed when purchased on July 1, 2014. It is expected to have a 4-year life with no residual value. The company typically uses straight-line depreciation for all fixed assets.

3. Research costs of £33,000 were incurred early in 2014. They were capitalized and were to be amortized over a 3-year period. Amortization of £11,000 was recorded for 2014 and £11,000 for 2015.

The company received £36,000 from a customer at the beginning of 2014 for services that it is to perform evenly over a 3-year period beginning in 2014. None of the amount received was reported as unearned revenue at the end of 2014.
6. Merchandise inventory costing £18,200 was in the warehouse at December 31, 2014, but was incorrectly omitted from the physical count at that date. The company uses the periodic inventory method.
