During the course of the audit, the following additional facts were determined:
An analysis of collections and losses on accounts receivable during the past 2 years indicates a drop in anticipated losses because of bad debts. After consultation with management, it was agreed that the loss experience rate on sales should be reduced from the recorded 2% to 1%, beginning with the year ended December 31, 2017. | |
An analysis of the available-for-sale securities revealed that this portfolio consisted entirely of short-term investments in marketable equity securities that were acquired in 2016. The total market valuation for these investments as of the end of each year was as follows: December 31, 2016, $81,000; December 31, 2017, $62,000. | |
The merchandise inventory at December 31, 2016, was overstated by $4,000, and the merchandise inventory at December 31, 2017, was overstated by $6,100. | |
On January 2, 2016, equipment costing $12,000 (estimated useful life of 10 years and residual value of $1,000) was incorrectly charged to Operating Expenses. Ingalls records depreciation via the straight-line method. In 2017, fully depreciated equipment (with no residual value) that originally cost $17,500 was sold as scrap for $2,500. Ingalls credited the proceeds of $2,500 to Equipment. | |
An analysis of 2016 operating expenses revealed that Ingalls charged to expense a 3-year insurance premium of $2,700 on January 15, 2016. |
Required:
1. | Prepare the journal entries to correct the books at December 31, 2017. The books for 2017 have not been closed. Ignore income taxes. |
2. | Prepare a schedule showing the computation of corrected net income for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, assuming that any adjustments are to be reported on comparative statements for the 2 years. The first items on your schedule should be the net income for each year. Ignore income taxes. (Do not prepare financial statements.) |
