The before-tax income for Nash Co. for 2020 was $101,000 and $81,800 for 2021. However, the accountant noted that the following errors had been made:

1. Sales for 2020 included amounts of $35,500 which had been received in cash during 2020, but for which the related products were delivered in 2021. Title did not pass to the purchaser until 2021.
2. The inventory on December 31, 2020, was understated by $8,400.
3. The bookkeeper in recording interest expense for both 2020 and 2021 on bonds payable made the following entry on an annual basis.

Interest Expense

13,800

     Cash

13,800

The bonds have a face value of $230,000 and pay a stated interest rate of 6%. They were issued at a discount of $13,000 on January 1, 2020, to yield an effective-interest rate of 7%. (Assume that the effective-yield method should be used.)
4. Ordinary repairs to equipment had been erroneously charged to the Equipment account during 2020 and 2021. Repairs in the amount of $7,800 in 2020 and $9,500 in 2021 were so charged. The company applies a rate of 10% to the balance in the Equipment account at the end of the year in its determination of depreciation charges.


Prepare a schedule showing the determination of corrected income before taxes for 2020 and 2021. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -15,000 or parentheses e.g. (15,000). Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

Desrosiers Ltd. had the following long-term receivable account balances at December 31, 2019:

Notes receivable    $1,800,000

Notes receivable—Employees 400,000

Transactions during 2020 and other information relating to Desrosiers' long-term receivables were as follows:

1. The $1.8-million note receivable is dated May 1, 2019, bears interest at 9%, and represents the balance of the consideration received from the sale of Desrosiers's electronics division to New York Company. Principal payments of $600,000 plus appropriate interest are due on May 1, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The first principal and interest payment was made on May 1, 2020. Collection of the note instalments is reasonably assured.

2. The $400,000 note receivable is dated December 31, 2019, bears interest at 8%, and is due on December 31, 2022. The note is due from Marcia Cumby, president of Desrosiers Ltd., and is secured by 10,000 Desrosiers common shares. Interest is payable annually on December 31, and the interest payment was made on December 31, 2020. The quoted market price of Desrosiers's common shares was $45 per share on December 31, 2020.

3. On April 1, 2020, Desrosiers sold a patent to Pinot Company in exchange for a $200,000 non–interest bearing note due on April 1, 2022. There was no established exchange price for the patent, and the note had no ready market. The prevailing rate of interest for a note of this type at April 1, 2020, was 12%. The present value of $1 for two periods at 12% is 0.79719 (use this factor). The patent had a carrying amount of $40,000 at January 1, 2020, and the amortization for the year ended December 31, 2020 would have been $8,000. The collection of the note receivable from Pinot is reasonably assured.

4. On July 1, 2020, Desrosiers sold a parcel of land to Four Winds Inc. for $200,000 under an instalment sale contract. Four Winds made a $60,000 cash down payment on July 1, 2020, and signed a four year, 11% note for the $140,000 balance. The equal annual payments of principal and interest on the note will be $45,125, payable on July 1, 2021, through July 1, 2024. The land could have been sold at an established cash price of $200,000. Desrosiers had paid $150,000 for the land when it purchased it. Collection of the instalments on the note is reasonably assured.

5. On August 1, 2020, Desrosiers agreed to allow its customer, Saini Inc., to substitute a six-month note for accounts receivable of $200,000 it owed. The note bears interest at 6% and principal and interest are due on the note's maturity date.
