Problem 22-7

You have been assigned to examine the financial statements of Zarle Company for the year ended December 31, 2014. You discover the following situations.

1.		Depreciation of $4,340 for 2014 on delivery vehicles was not recorded.
2.		The physical inventory count on December 31, 2013, improperly excluded merchandise costing $34,600 that had been temporarily stored in a public warehouse. Zarle uses a periodic inventory system.
3.		A collection of $5,940 on account from a customer received on December 31, 2014, was not recorded until January 2, 2015.
4.		In 2014, the company sold for $3,080 fully depreciated equipment that originally cost $21,600. The company credited the proceeds from the sale to the Equipment account.
5.		During November 2014, a competitor company filed a patent-infringement suit against Zarle claiming damages of $204,000. The companys legal counsel has indicated that an unfavorable verdict is probable and a reasonable estimate of the courts award to the competitor is $108,000. The company has not reflected or disclosed this situation in the financial statements.
6.		Zarle has a portfolio of trading securities. No entry has been made to adjust to market. Information on cost and market value is as follows.

	Cost	Market
December 31, 2013	$85,500	$85,500
December 31, 2014	$81,400	$78,930

7.		At December 31, 2014, an analysis of payroll information shows accrued salaries of $13,000. The accrued Salaries and Wages Payable account had a balance of $17,200 at December 31, 2014, which was unchanged from its balance at December 31, 2013.
8.		A large piece of equipment was purchased on January 3, 2014, for $43,120 and was charged to Maintenance and Repairs Expense. The equipment is estimated to have a service life of 8 years and no residual value. Zarle normally uses the straight-line depreciation method for this type of equipment.
9.		A $17,730 insurance premium paid on July 1, 2013, for a policy that expires on June 30, 2016, was charged to insurance expense.
10.		A trademark was acquired at the beginning of 2013 for $50,800. No amortization has been recorded since its acquisition. The maximum allowable amortization period is 10 years.

Assume the trial balance has been prepared but the books have not been closed for 2014. Assuming all amounts are material, prepare journal entries showing the adjustments that are required. (Ignore income tax considerations.) (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)
