(36 marks) Halloween Corp. reported net incomes for the last three years as follows: 2020 $ 240,000 2019 $ 225,000 2018 $ 180,000 During the 2020 year-end audit, the following items come to your attention: 1. Halloween bought a truck on January 1, 2017 for $98,000 cash, with an $8,000 estimated residual value and a six-year life. The company debited an expense account for the entire cost of the asset. Halloween uses straight-line depreciation for all trucks. 2. During 2020, Halloween changed from straight-line depreciation for its cement plant to double declining balance. The following calculations present depreciation on both bases: 2020 Straight-line $ 18,000 Double declining balance 23,100 2019 $ 18,000 30,000 2018 $ 18,000 36,000 The net income for 2020 was calculated using the double declining balance method. In reviewing its provision for uncollectible accounts during 2020, the corporation has determined that 1% is the appropriate amount of bad debt expense to be charged to operations. The company had used 1/2 of 1% as its rate in 2019 and 2018 when the expense had been $ 9,000 and $6,000, respectively. Halloween recorded bad debt expense using the new rate for 2020. If they had used the old rate, they would have recorded $ 3,000 less bad debt expense on December 31, 2020. Required a.
