However, reclassification of assets and liabilities do not require any ajustment. Balance sheet has to be simply redrafted. Informatio provided for adjustment is dealt with as under: 1. Amortizaiion of Bond discount is to be adjusted for ist year (2012). An adjusting entry is needed as follows: 2. (a) 7,718 Overstatement of Closing Inventories in 2010 overstated Net Income and 2010. Net Income of 2011 was understated in 2011 by the same amount as the ending inventories of 2010 was beginning inventory for 2011. So the overstatement of net income of 2011 was offset by understating the net income of 2011. The year 2012 was not affected by this mistake and as such no adjustment is required. (b)By not recording accrued wages in 2012, net income was overstated by $227,240. This needs adjustment to Retained Earnings. Adjusting entry is: Retained Earnings 227,240 Accrued Wages (To adjust Accrued Wages not recorded) ??? ??? ??? ??? ????? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Allowance for Uncollectibles ??? Notes Receivable. Prepaid Expenses Inventories Total Current Assers 227,240 The question says that in 2012, a gain of sales of certain plant assets net of tax amounting to $176,670 was directly credited to Retained Earnings Account. Hence no further adjustment is required. 3, The information provided is significant and this can be disclosed in the management discussion and analysis section by the management highlighting the threat and management's plan to handle it. 4.This information falls in the category of events after the balance sheet date and must be disclosed in the notes to the accounts. If the loss can be assessed it may be even adjusted in the accounts of 2012, otherwise disclosure of only this event is required. Since the books are already closed so adjustments made to Retained Earninfg wherever it was required. ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? ??? Your answer is partially correct.
