You are the financial accountant for Superstore Ltd, and are in the process of preparing its financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018. Whilst preparing the financial statements, you become aware of the following situations:

On 1 July 2017, the directors made a decision, using information obtained over the last couple of years, to revise the useful life of an item of manufacturing equipment. The equipment was acquired on 1 July 2015 for $800,000, and has been depreciated on a straight-line basis, based on an estimated useful life of 10 years and residual value of nil. Superstore Ltd uses the cost model for manufacturing equipment. The directors estimate that as at 1 July 2017, the equipment has a remaining useful life of 6 years and a residual value of nil. No depreciation has been recorded as yet for the year ended 30 June 2018 as the directors were unsure how to account for the change in the 2018 financial statements, and unsure whether the 2016 and 2017 financial statements will need to be revised as a result of the change.

In June 2018, the accounts payable officer discovered that an invoice for repairs to equipment, with an amount due of $20,000, incurred in June 2017, had not been paid or provided for in the 2017 financial statements. The invoice was paid on 12 July 2018. The repairs are deductible for tax purposes. The accountant responsible for preparing the company’s income tax returns will amend the 2017 tax return, and the company will receive a tax refund of $6,000 as a result (30% x $20,000). No journal entries have been done as yet in the accounting records of Superstore Ltd, as the directors are unsure how to account for this situation, and what period adjustments need to be made in.

Superstore Ltd holds shares in a listed public company, ABC Ltd, which are valued in the draft financial statements on 30 June 2018 at their market value on that date - $600,000. A major fall in the stock market occurred on 10 July 2018, and the value of Superstore’s shares in ABC Ltd declined to $250,000.

On 21 July 2018, you discovered a cheque dated 20 April 2018 of $32,000 authorised by the company’s previous accountant, Max. The payment was for the purchase of a swimming pool at Max’s house. The payment had been recorded in the accounting system as an advertising expense. You advise the directors of this fraudulent activity, and they will investigate. Assume that each event is material. Required:

i) State the appropriate accounting treatment for each situation. Provide explanations and references to relevant paragraphs in the accounting standards to support your answers. Where adjustments to Superstore Ltd’s financial statements are required, explain which financial statements need to be adjusted (ie. 2016, 2017, 2018 or 2019).

ii) Prepare any note disclosures and adjusting journal entries that are needed in the 2018 financial statements for each situation.

Problem One:

On March 1, 2019, Mark Company acquired real estate on which it planned to construct a small office building. The company paid $75,000 in cash. An old warehouse on the property was razed at a cost of $6,400; the salvaged materials were sold for $1,200. Additional expenditures before construction began included $800 attorney’s fee for work concerning the land purchase, $3,800 real estate broker’s fee, $5,800 architect’s fee, and $11,000 to put in driveways and a parking lot.

Instructions

1. Determine the amount to be reported as the cost of the land.

2. For each cost not used in part (a), indicate the account to be debited.

Problem Two:

Younger Bus Lines uses the units-of-activity method in depreciating its buses. One bus was purchased on January 1, 2018, at a cost of $188,000. Over its 4-year useful life, the bus is expected to be driven 100,000 miles. Salvage value is expected to be $8,000.

Instructions

1. Compute the depreciation cost per unit.

2. Calculate the depreciation expense, accumulated depreciation, and book value for 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2021 assuming actual mileage was: 2018, 27,000; 2019, 34,000; 2020, 24,000; and 2021, 18,000.

Problem Three:

Kinder Company purchased a new machine on October 1, 2018, at a cost of $145,000.  The company estimated that the machine will have a salvage value of $25,000.The machine is expected to be used for 20,000 working hours during its 5-year life.

Instructions

Compute the depreciation expense under the following methods for the year indicated.

1. Straight-line for 2018 and 2019.

2. Units-of-activity for 2018 and 2019, assuming machine usage was 3,400 hours for 2018 and 12,200 for 2019.

3. Declining-balance using double the straight-line rate for 2018 and 2019.

4. Assuming the straight-line method.
   1. Prepare the journal entry to record 2018 depreciation.

2. Show how the truck would be reported in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet.

Problem Four:

On January 1, 2019, Jaime Inc. invested $900,000 in a mine estimated to have 1,200,000 tons of ore of uniform grade. During the 2019, 100,000 tons of ore were mined and sold.

Instructions

1. Prepare the journal entry to record depletion expense.

2. Assume that the 100,000 tons of ore were mined, but only 80,000 units were sold. How are the costs applicable to the 20,000 unsold units reported?

Problem Five:

The following are selected 2019 transactions of Penaflok Corporation.  

Jan. 1    Purchased a small company and recorded goodwill of $200,000. Its useful life is indefinite.

May 1   Purchased for $120,000 a patent with an estimated useful life of 5 years and a legal life of 20 years.

Instructions

Prepare necessary adjusting entries at December 31 to record amortization required by the events above.

Described below are six independent and unrelated situations involving accounting changes. Each change occurs during 2018 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared. Assume the tax rate for each company is 40% in all years. Any tax effects should be adjusted through the deferred tax liability account. Fleming Home Products introduced a new line of commercial awnings in 2017 that carry a one-year warranty against manufacturer’s defects. Based on industry experience, warranty costs were expected to approximate 4% of sales. Sales of the awnings in 2017 were $2,800,000. Accordingly, warranty expense and a warranty liability of $112,000 were recorded in 2017. In late 2018, the company’s claims experience was evaluated and it was determined that claims were far fewer than expected: 3% of sales rather than 4%. Sales of the awnings in 2018 were $3,300,000, and warranty expenditures in 2018 totaled $75,075. On December 30, 2014, Rival Industries acquired its office building at a cost of $860,000. It was depreciated on a straight-line basis assuming a useful life of 40 years and no salvage value. However, plans were finalized in 2018 to relocate the company headquarters at the end of 2022. The vacated office building will have a salvage value at that time of $630,000. Hobbs-Barto Merchandising, Inc., changed inventory cost methods to LIFO from FIFO at the end of 2018 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. Under FIFO, the inventory at January 1, 2018, is $620,000. At the beginning of 2015, the Hoffman Group purchased office equipment at a cost of $253,000. 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, 2018, the company changed to the straight-line method. In November 2016, 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 2017, Huggins had not reached a settlement with state authorities, but legal counsel advised Huggins that it was probable the company would have to pay $130,000 in penalties. Accordingly, the following entry was recorded: Loss—litigation 130,000 Liability—litigation 130,000 Late in 2018, a settlement was reached with state authorities to pay a total of $273,000 in penalties. At the beginning of 2018, 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 $368,000. 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 2018 related to the situation described.

Described below are six independent and unrelated situations involving accounting changes. Each change occurs during 2018 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared. Assume the tax rate for each company is 40% in all years. Any tax effects should be adjusted through the deferred tax liability account.

A. Fleming Home Products introduced a new line of commercial awnings in 2017 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 2017 were $2,900,000. Accordingly, warranty expense and a warranty liability of $58,000 were recorded in 2017. In late 2018, 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 2018 were $3,400,000, and warranty expenditures in 2018 totaled $77,350.
B. On December 30, 2014, 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 2018 to relocate the company headquarters at the end of 2022. The vacated office building will have a salvage value at that time of $640,000.
C. Hobbs-Barto Merchandising, Inc., changed inventory cost methods to LIFO from FIFO at the end of 2018 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. Under FIFO, the inventory at January 1, 2018, is $630,000.
D. At the beginning of 2015, 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, 2018, the company changed to the straight-line method.
E. In November 2016, 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 2017, 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 2018, a settlement was reached with state authorities to pay a total of $284,000 in penalties.

At the beginning of 2018, 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 2018 related to the situation described.

Question: At December 31, 2017, Cord Company's plant asset and accumulated depreciation and amortization ac...

At December 31, 2017, Cord Company's plant asset and accumulated depreciation and amortization accounts had balances as follows:

Depreciation methods and useful lives:
Buildings—150% declining balance; 25 years.
Machinery and equipment—Straight line; 10 years.
Automobiles and trucks—150% declining balance; 5 years, all acquired after 2014.
Leasehold improvements—Straight line.
Land improvements—Straight line.

Depreciation is computed to the nearest month and residual values are immaterial. Transactions during 2018 and other information:

On January 6, 2018, a plant facility consisting of land and building was acquired from King Corp. in exchange for 30,000 shares of Cord's common stock. On this date, Cord's stock had a fair value of $40 a share. Current assessed values of land and building for property tax purposes are $160,000 and $640,000, respectively.

On March 25, 2018, new parking lots, streets, and sidewalks at the acquired plant facility were completed at a total cost of $222,000. These expenditures had an estimated useful life of 12 years.

The leasehold improvements were completed on December 31, 2014, and had an estimated useful life of eight years. The related lease, which would terminate on December 31, 2020, was renewable for an additional four-year term. On April 30, 2018, Cord exercised the renewal option.

On July 1, 2018, machinery and equipment were purchased at a total invoice cost of $330,000. Additional costs of $12,000 for delivery and $55,000 for installation were incurred.

On August 30, 2018, Cord purchased a new automobile for $13,000.

On September 30, 2018, a truck with a cost of $24,500 and a book value of $10,000 on date of sale was sold for $12,000. Depreciation for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, was $2,250.

On December 20, 2018, a machine with a cost of $19,500 and a book value of $3,100 at date of disposition was scrapped without cash recovery.

Required:

1. Prepare a schedule analyzing the changes in each of the plant asset accounts during 2018. Do not analyze changes in accumulated depreciation and amortization.
2. For each asset category, prepare a schedule showing depreciation or amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Exercise 22-19 A partial trial balance of Crane Corporation is as follows on December 31, 2018. Dr. Cr. Supplies $2,600 Salaries and wages payable $1,500 Interest Receivable 4,600 Prepaid Insurance 86,200 Unearned Rent 0 Interest Payable 14,100 Additional adjusting data: 1. A physical count of supplies on hand on December 31, 2018, totaled $1,100. 2. Through oversight, the Salaries and Wages Payable account was not changed during 2018. Accrued salaries and wages on December 31, 2018, amounted to $4,700. 3. The Interest Receivable account was also left unchanged during 2018. Accrued interest on investments amounts to $3,700 on December 31, 2018. 4. The unexpired portions of the insurance policies totaled $68,300 as of December 31, 2018. 5. $26,500 was received on January 1, 2018, for the rent of a building for both 2018 and 2019. The entire amount was credited to rent revenue. 6. Depreciation on equipment for the year was erroneously recorded as $5,200 rather than the correct figure of $52,000. 7. A further review of depreciation calculations of prior years revealed that equipment depreciation of $7,500 was not recorded. It was decided that this oversight should be corrected by a prior period adjustment. Assuming that the books have not been closed, what are the adjusting entries necessary at December 31, 2018?
