You have been assigned to examine the financial statements of Picard Corporation for the year ended...

You have been assigned to examine the financial statements of Picard Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2020, as prepared following IFRS. Picard uses a periodic inventory system. You discover the following situations:
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.
8. Picard has a portfolio of temporary trading investments reported at fair value. No adjusting entry has been made yet in 2020. Information on carrying amount and fair value is as follows:
Carrying Amount Fair Value
Dec. 31, 2019 $98,000 $98,000
Dec. 31, 2020 $97,000 $82,600
9. At December 31, 2020, an analysis of payroll information showed accrued salaries of $12,700. The Salaries and Wages Payable account had a balance of $17,900 at December 31, 2020, which was unchanged from its balance at December 31, 2019.
10. An $21,000 insurance premium paid on July 1, 2019, for a policy that expires on June 30, 2022 was charged to insurance expense.
11. A trademark was acquired at the beginning of 2019 for $39,840. Through an oversight, no amortization has been recorded since its acquisition. Picard expected the trademark to benefit the company for a total of approximately 12 years with no residual value.

QUESTION:

Assume that the trial balance has been prepared, the ending inventory has not yet been recorded, and the books have not been closed for 2020. Assuming also that all amounts are material, prepare journal entries showing the adjustments that are required. Ignore income tax considerations.

No.

Bracy Company acquired a new piece of construction equipment on January 1, 2015, at a cost of $92,300. The equipment was expected to have a useful life of 7 years and a residual value of $16,000 and is being depreciated on a straight-line basis.

On January 1, 2016, the equipment was appraised and determine to have a fair value of $92,920, a salvage value of $16,000, and a remaining useful life of six years.

a. Determine the amount of depreciation expense that Bracy should recognize in determining net income in 2015, 2016, and 2017 and the amount at which equipment should be carried on December 31, 2015, 2016, and 2017 balance sheets using (1) U.S. GAAP and (2) IFRS. In measuring property, plant, and equipment subsequent to the acquisition, Bracy used the revaluation model in IAS16.

b. Determine the adjustments that Bracy would make in 2015, 2016, and 2017 to reconcile net income and stockholders' equity under U.S. GAAP to IFRS.

Each change occurs during 2021 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared. Assume the tax rate for each company is 25% 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 2020 that carry a one-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects. Based on industry experience, warranty costs were expected to approximate 2% of sales. Sales of the awnings in 2020 were $2,900,000. Accordingly, warranty expense and a warranty liability of $58,000 were recorded in 2020. In late 2021, the company’s claims experience was evaluated, and it was determined that claims were far fewer than expected: 1% of sales rather than 2%. Sales of the awnings in 2021 were $3,400,000, and warranty expenditures in 2021 totaled $77,350.
  2. On December 30, 2017, Rival Industries acquired its office building at a cost of $880,000. It was depreciated on a straight-line basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and no salvage value. However, plans were finalized in 2021 to relocate the company headquarters at the end of 2025. The vacated office building will have a salvage value at that time of $640,000.
  3. Hobbs-Barto Merchandising, Inc., changed inventory cost methods to LIFO from FIFO at the end of 2021 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. Under FIFO, the inventory at January 1, 2021, is $630,000.
  4. At the beginning of 2018, the Hoffman Group purchased office equipment at a cost of $264,000. 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, 2021, the company changed to the straight-line method.
  5. In November 2019, 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 2020, Huggins had not reached a settlement with state authorities, but legal counsel advised Huggins that it was probable the company would have to pay $140,000 in penalties. Accordingly, the following entry was recorded:
Loss—litigation 140,000
Liability—litigation 140,000


Late in 2021, a settlement was reached with state authorities to pay a total of $284,000 in penalties.

  1. At the beginning of 2021, 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 $379,000.


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 2021 related to the situation described.
