You have obtained the following information to help you perform preliminary analytical procedures for the payroll account balances.

There has been a significant increase in the demand for Harbor Creek 's products. The increase in sales was due to both an increase in the average selling price of six percent and an increase in units sold that resulted from the increased demand and an increased marketing effort.

Even though sales volume increased there was no addition of executives, factory supervisors, or office personnel.

All employees including executives, but excluding commission salespeople, received a four percent salary increase starting November 1, 2015.

Commission salespeople receive their increased compensation through the increase in sales.

The increased number of factory hourly employees was accomplished by recalling employees that had been laid off. They receive the same wage rate as existing employees. Harbor Creek does not permit overtime.

Commission salespeople receive a seven percent commission on all sales on which a commission is given. Approximately 60 percent of sales earn sales commission. The other 40 percent are "call-ins," for which no commission is given. Commissions are paid in the month following the month they are earned

The first audit of the books of Carla Company was made for the year ended December...

The first audit of the books of Carla Company was made for the year ended December 31, 2021. In examining the books, the auditor found that certain items had been overlooked or incorrectly handled in the last 3 years. These items are

1. At the beginning of 2019, the company purchased a machine for $561,000 (salvage value of $56,100) that had a useful life of 6 years. The bookkeeper used straight-line depreciation but failed to deduct the salvage value in computing the depreciation base for the 3 years.

2. At the end of 2020, the company failed to accrue sales salaries of $47,000.

3. A tax lawsuit that involved the year 2019 was settled late in 2021. It was determined that the company owed an additional $89,000 in taxes related to 2019. The company did not record a liability in 2019 or 2020 because the possibility of loss was considered remote, and charged the $89,000 to a loss account in 2021.

4. Carla Company purchased the copyright from another company early in 2019 for $54,000. Carla had not amortized the copyright because its value had not diminished. The copyright has a useful life at the purchase of 20 years.

5. In 2021, the company wrote off $87,000 of inventory considered to be obsolete; this loss was charged directly to Retained Earnings. Prepare the journal entries necessary in 2021 to correct the books, assuming that the books have not been closed. Disregard the effects of corrections on income tax.
