Presented below are income statements prepared on a LIFO and FIFO basis for Novak Company, which started operations on January 1, 2016. The company presently uses the LIFO method of pricing its inventory and has decided to switch to the FIFO method in 2017. The FIFO income statement is computed in accordance with the requirements of GAAP. Novak’s profit-sharing agreement with its employees indicates that the company will pay employees 10% of income before profit-sharing. Income taxes are ignored.

The first audit of the books of Whispering Company was made for the year ended December 31, 2018. 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 2016, the company purchased a machine for $483,000 (salvage value of $48,300) 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 2017, the company failed to accrue sales salaries of $43,000 which was paid in 2018 and was debited to Salaries and Wages Expense.
3. A tax lawsuit that involved the year 2016 was settled late in 2018. It was determined that the company owed an additional $89,000 in taxes related to 2016. The company did not record a liability in 2016 or 2017 because the possibility of loss was considered remote, and charged the $89,000 to a loss account in 2018.
4. Whispering Company purchased a copyright from another company early in 2016 for $46,000. Whispering had not amortized the copyright because its value had not diminished. The copyright has a useful life at purchase of 20 years.
5. In 2018, the company wrote off $86,000 of inventory considered to be obsolete; this loss was charged directly to Retained Earnings.

Prepare the journal entries necessary in 2018 to correct the books, assuming that the books have not been closed. Disregard effects of corrections on income tax.

At year-end 2016, Wallace Landscaping’s total assets were $1.5 million, and its accounts payable were $360,000. Sales, which in 2016 were $2.5 million, are expected to increase by 30% in 2017. Total assets and accounts payable are proportional to sales, and that relationship will be maintained. Wallace typically uses no current liabilities other than accounts payable. Common stock amounted to $440,000 in 2016, and retained earnings were $340,000. Wallace has arranged to sell $145,000 of new common stock in 2017 to meet some of its financing needs. The remainder of its financing needs will be met by issuing new long-term debt at the end of 2017. (Because the debt is added at the end of the year, there will be no additional interest expense due to the new debt.) Its net profit margin on sales is 4%, and 40% of earnings will be paid out as dividends.
