Question:
You have been assigned to examine the financial statements of Picard Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2023, as prepared following IFRS. Picard uses a periodic inventory system. You discover the following situations:
1. The physical inventory count on December 31, 2022, improperly excluded merchandise costing $34,000 that had been temporarily stored in a public warehouse.
2. The physical inventory count on December 31, 2023, improperly included merchandise with a cost of $17,400 that had been recorded as a sale on December 27, 2023, and was being held for the customer to pick up on January 4, 2024.
3. A collection of $6,200 on account from a customer received on December 31, 2023, was not recorded in 2023.
4. Depreciation of $7,600 for 2023 on delivery trucks was not recorded.
5. In 2023, the company received $2,700 on a sale of fully depreciated equipment that originally cost $32,000. The company credited the proceeds from the sale to the Equipment account.
6. During November 2023, a competitor company filed a patent infringement suit against Picard, claiming damages of $550,000. Picard’s legal counsel has indicated that an unfavourable verdict is probable and a reasonable estimate of the court’s award to the competitor is $400,000. Picard has not reflected or disclosed this situation in the financial statements.
7. A large piece of equipment was purchased on January 3, 2023, for $64,000 and was charged in error to Repairs and Maintenance Expense. The equipment is estimated to have a service life of eight years and no residual value. Picard normally uses the straight-line depreciation method for this type of equipment.
8. Picard has a portfolio of temporary trading investments reported at fair value. No adjusting entry has been made yet in 2023. Information on carrying amount and fair value is as follows:
9. At December 31, 2023, an analysis of payroll information showed accrued salaries of $11,600. The Salaries and Wages Payable account had a balance of $18,000 at December 31, 2023, which was unchanged from its balance at December 31, 2022.
10. A $21,000 insurance premium paid on July 1, 2022, for a policy that expires on June 30, 2025, was charged to insurance expense.
11. A trademark was acquired at the beginning of 2022 for $48,000. Through an oversight, no amortization has been recorded since its acquisition. Picard expected the trademark to benefit the company for a total of approximately 12 years with no residual value.
