For each of the following situations, which change (or correction) should be made
prospectively?
a) When the company purchased land several years ago, the accounting clerk posted the journal
entry to "buildings" instead of "land". This was only discovered this year. Depreciation has been
recorded on the total value in the buildings account each year.
b) Management has decided to change from the weighted average method of inventory valuation
to specific identification due to an improved ability to track each item of inventory. The specific
identification is considered reliable and more relevant.
c) In 2024, all supplies were expensed as purchased. In 2025, it was discovered that $25,000 of
supplies were still on hand that had been purchased in 2024. When the discovery was made, the
books for 2024 were already closed.
d) Management has elected to change from the double declining balance depreciation to the
straight-line method, because the pattern of benefits has changed.
