In the course of the review, you find the following data:
(a) The possibility of uncollectible accounts on accounts receivable has not been considered. It is estimated that uncollectible accounts will total $4,800.
(b) The amount of $45,000 representing the cost of a large-scale newspaper advertising campaign completed in 2011 has been added to the inventories because it is believed that this campaign will benefit sales of 2012. It is also found that inventories include merchandise of $16,250 received on December 31 that has not yet been recorded as a purchase.
(c) The books show that property, plant, and equipment have a cost of $556,800 with depreciation of $180,000 recognized in prior years. However, these balances include fully depreciated equipment of $85,000 that has been scrapped and is no longer on hand.
