During 2019, White Company determined that machinery previously depreciated over a 7-year life had a total estimated useful life of only 5 years. An accounting change was made in 2019 to reflect the change in estimate. If the change had been made in 2018, accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2018, would have been 1,600,000 instead of 1,200,000. As a result of this change, the 2019 depreciation expense was 100,000 greater than it would have been if no change were made. Ignoring income tax considerations, what is the proper amount of the adjustment to Whites January 1, 2019, balance of retained earnings? a. 0 b. 100,000 c. 280,000 d. 400,000
At the end of 2020, while auditing Sandlin Companys books, before the books have been closed, you find the following items: a. A building with a 30-year life (no residual value, depreciated using the straight-line method) was purchased on January 1, 2020, by issuing a 90,000 non-interest-bearing, 4-year note. The entry made to record the purchase was a debit to Building and a credit to Notes Payable for 90,000; 12% is a fair rate of interest on the note. b. The inventory at the end of 2020 was found to be overstated by 15,000. At the same time, it was discovered that the inventory at the end of 2019 had been overstated by 35,000. The company uses the perpetual inventory system. c. For the last 3 years, the company has failed to accrue salaries and w-ages. The correct amounts at the end of each year were: 2018, 12,000; 2019, 18,000; and 2020, 10,000. Required: 1. Prepare journal entries to correct the errors. Ignore income taxes. 2.

On May 10, 2019, Horan Company purchased equipment for 25,000. The equipment has an estimated service life of 5 years and zero residual value. Assume that the straight-line depreciation method is used. Required: Compute the depreciation expense for 2019 for each of the following four alternatives: 1. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest day. (Use 12 months of 30 days each and round the daily depreciation rate to 2 decimal places.) 2. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest month. Assets purchased in the first half of the month are considered owned for the whole month. 3. Horan computes depreciation expense to the nearest whole year. Assets purchased in the first half of the year are considered owned for the whole year. 4. Horan records one-half years depreciation expense on all assets purchased during the year.
During 2019, Ryel Companys controller asked you to prepare correcting journal entries for the following three situations: 1. Machine A was purchased for 50,000 on January 1, 2014. Straight-line depreciation has been recorded for 5 years, and the Accumulated Depreciation account has a balance of 25,000. The estimated residual value remains at 5,000, but the service life is now estimated to be 1 year longer than estimated originally. 2. Machine B was purchased for 40,000 on January 1, 2017. It had an estimated residual value of 5,000 and an estimated service life of 10 years. it has been depreciated under the double-declining-balance method for 2 years. Now, at the beginning of the third year, Ryel has decided to change to the straight-line method. 3. Machine C was purchased for 20,000 on January 1, 2018, Double-declining-balance depreciation has been recorded for 1 year. The estimated residual value of the machine is 2,000 and the estimated service life is 5 years. The computation of the depreciation erroneously included the estimated residual value. Required: Prepare any necessary correcting journal entries for each situation. Also prepare the journal entry necessary for each situation to record depreciation expense for 2019.
