1. The physical inventory count on December 31, 2019, improperly excluded merchandise costing $26,700 that had been temporarily stored in a public warehouse.
2. The physical inventory count on December 31, 2020, improperly included merchandise with a cost of $15,650 that had been recorded as a sale on December 27, 2020, and was being held for the customer to pick up on January 4, 2021.
3. A collection of $7,200 on account from a customer received on December 31, 2020, was not recorded in 2020.
4. Depreciation of $5,300 for 2020 on delivery trucks was not recorded.
5. In 2020, the company received $3,900 on a sale of fully depreciated equipment that originally cost $25,700. The company credited the proceeds from the sale to the Equipment account.
6. During November 2020, a competitor company filed a patent infringement suit against Picard, claiming damages of $629,000. Picard’s legal counsel has indicated that an unfavourable verdict is probable and a reasonable estimate of the court’s award to the competitor is $471,000. Picard has not reflected or disclosed this situation in the financial statements.
7. A large piece of equipment was purchased on January 3, 2020, for $41,400 and was charged in error to Repairs and Maintenance Expense. The equipment is estimated to have a service life of eight years and no residual value. Picard normally uses the straight-line depreciation method for this type of equipment.
