Williams-Santana, Inc., is a manufacturer of high-tech industrial parts that was started in 2006 by two talented engineers with little business training. In 2018, the company was acquired by one of its major customers. As part of an internal audit, the following facts were discovered. The audit occurred during 2018 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared.

  1. A five-year casualty insurance policy was purchased at the beginning of 2016 for $31,500. The full amount was debited to insurance expense at the time.
  2. Effective January 1, 2018, the company changed the salvage value used in calculating depreciation for its office building. The building cost $592,000 on December 29, 2007, and has been depreciated on a straight-line basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $120,000. Declining real estate values in the area indicate that the salvage value will be no more than $30,000.
  3. On December 31, 2017, merchandise inventory was overstated by $21,500 due to a mistake in the physical inventory count using the periodic inventory system.
  4. The company changed inventory cost methods to FIFO from LIFO at the end of 2018 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. The change will cause a $925,000 increase in the beginning inventory at January 1, 2019.
  5. At the end of 2017, the company failed to accrue $14,800 of sales commissions earned by employees during 2017. The expense was recorded when the commissions were paid in early 2018.
  6. At the beginning of 2016, the company purchased a machine at a cost of $650,000. Its useful life was estimated to be 10 years with no salvage value. The machine has been depreciated by the double-declining balance method. Its book value on December 31, 2017, was $416,000. On January 1, 2018, the company changed to the straight-line method.
  7. Warranty expense is determined each year as 1% of sales. Actual payment experience of recent years indicates that 0.70% is a better indication of the actual cost. Management effects the change in 2018. Credit sales for 2018 are $3,300,000; in 2017 they were $3,000,000.

  8. Required:
    For each situation:
    1. Identify whether it represents an accounting change or an error. If an accounting change, identify the type of change. For accounting errors, choose "Not applicable".
    2. Prepare any journal entry necessary as a direct result of the change or error correction as well as any adjusting entry for 2018 related to the situation described. (Ignore tax effects.)

Described below are six independent and unrelated situations involving accounting changes. Each change occurs during 2018 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared. Assume the tax rate for each company is 40% in all years. Any tax effects should be adjusted through the deferred tax liability account.

  1. Fleming Home Products introduced a new line of commercial awnings in 2017 that carry a one-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects. Based on industry experience, warranty costs were expected to approximate 4% of sales. Sales of the awnings in 2017 were $2,500,000. Accordingly, warranty expense and a warranty liability of $100,000 were recorded in 2017. In late 2018, the company’s claims experience was evaluated and it was determined that claims were far fewer than expected: 3% of sales rather than 4%. Sales of the awnings in 2018 were $3,000,000, and warranty expenditures in 2018 totaled $68,250.
  2. On December 30, 2014, Rival Industries acquired its office building at a cost of $800,000. It was depreciated on a straight-line basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and no salvage value. However, plans were finalized in 2018 to relocate the company headquarters at the end of 2022. The vacated office building will have a salvage value at that time of $600,000.
  3. Hobbs-Barto Merchandising, Inc., changed inventory cost methods to LIFO from FIFO at the end of 2018 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. Under FIFO, the inventory at January 1, 2018, is $590,000.
  4. At the beginning of 2015, the Hoffman Group purchased office equipment at a cost of $220,000. Its useful life was estimated to be 10 years with no salvage value. The equipment was depreciated by the sum-of-the-years’-digits method. On January 1, 2018, the company changed to the straight-line method.
  5. In November 2016, the State of Minnesota filed suit against Huggins Manufacturing Company, seeking penalties for violations of clean air laws. When the financial statements were issued in 2017, Huggins had not reached a settlement with state authorities, but legal counsel advised Huggins that it was probable the company would have to pay $100,000 in penalties. Accordingly, the following entry was recorded:
Loss—litigation 100,000
Liability—litigation 100,000

Late in 2018, a settlement was reached with state authorities to pay a total of $240,000 in penalties.

  1. At the beginning of 2018, Jantzen Specialties, which uses the sum-of-the-years’-digits method, changed to the straight-line method for newly acquired buildings and equipment. The change increased current year net earnings by $335,000.


Required:
For each situation:
1. Identify the type of change.
2. Prepare any journal entry necessary as a direct result of the change as well as any adjusting entry for 2018 related to the situation described.

Conrad Playground Supply underwent a restructuring in 2018. The company conducted a thorough internal audit, during which the following facts were discovered. The audit occurred during 2018 before any adjusting entries or closing entries are prepared.

  1. Additional computers were acquired at the beginning of 2016 and added to the company’s office network. The $50,000 cost of the computers was inadvertently recorded as maintenance expense. Computers have five-year useful lives and no material salvage value. This class of equipment is depreciated by the straight-line method.
  2. Two weeks prior to the audit, the company paid $22,000 for assembly tools and recorded the expenditure as office supplies. The error was discovered a week later.
  3. On December 31, 2017, merchandise inventory was understated by $88,000 due to a mistake in the physical inventory count. The company uses the periodic inventory system.
  4. Two years earlier, the company recorded a 3% stock dividend (3,000 common shares, $1 par) as follows
  5.    Retained earnings 3,000
  6. Common stock 3,000
  7. The shares had a market price at the time of $13 per share.

  8. At the end of 2017, the company failed to accrue $124,000 of interest expense that accrued during the last four months of 2017 on bonds payable. The bonds, which were issued at face value, mature in 2022. The following entry was recorded on March 1, 2018, when the semiannual interest was paid, as well as on September 1 of each year:

  9. Interest expense 186,000
  10. Cash 186,000
  11. A three-year liability insurance policy was purchased at the beginning of 2017 for $75,000. The full premium was debited to insurance expense at the time.

  12. Required:
    For each error, prepare any journal entry necessary to correct the error as well as any year-end adjusting entry for 2018 related to the situation described. (Ignore income taxes.) (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
