Presented below are income statements prepared on a LIFO and FIFO basis for Sarasota 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. Sarasota’s profit-sharing agreement with its employees indicates that the company will pay employees 10% of income before profit-sharing. Income taxes are ignored.

	LIFO Basis	FIFO Basis
	2017	2016	2017	2016
Sales	$3,150	$3,150	$3,150	$3,150
Cost of goods sold	1,090	970	1,110	920
Operating expenses	960	960	960	960
Income before profit-sharing	1,100	1,220	1,080	1,270
Profit-sharing expense	110	122	113	122

Swifty Co. purchased a equipment on January 1, 2015, for $517,000. At that time, it was estimated that the equipment would have a 10-year life and no salvage value. On December 31, 2018, the firm’s accountant found that the entry for depreciation expense had been omitted in 2016. In addition, management has informed the accountant that the company plans to switch to straight-line depreciation, starting with the year 2018. At present, the company uses the sum-of-the-years’-digits method for depreciating equipment. Prepare the general journal entries that should be made at December 31, 2018, to record these events. (Ignore tax effects.) (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.

You have been engaged to review the financial statements of Grouper Corporation. In the course of your examination, you conclude that the bookkeeper hired during the current year is not doing a good job. You notice a number of irregularities as follows.

1.		Year-end wages payable of $3,510 were not recorded because the bookkeeper thought that “they were immaterial.”
2.		Accrued vacation pay for the year of $33,300 was not recorded because the bookkeeper “never heard that you had to do it.”
3.		Insurance for a 12-month period purchased on November 1 of this year was charged to insurance expense in the amount of $2,652 because “the amount of the check is about the same every year.”
4.		Reported sales revenue for the year is $2,021,420. This includes all sales taxes collected for the year. The sales tax rate is 6%. Because the sales tax is forwarded to the state’s Department of Revenue, the Sales Tax Expense account is debited. The bookkeeper thought that “the sales tax is a selling expense.” At the end of the current year, the balance in the Sales Tax Expense account is $97,820.

Prepare the necessary correcting entries, assuming that Grouper uses a calendar-year basis. The books for the current year have not been closed. (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select “No Entry” for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

The reported net incomes for the first 2 years of Flint Products, Inc., were as follows: 2017, $146,400; 2018, $187,600. Early in 2019, the following errors were discovered.

1.		Depreciation of equipment for 2017 was overstated $18,200.
2.		Depreciation of equipment for 2018 was understated $40,600.
3.		December 31, 2017, inventory was understated $49,300.
4.		December 31, 2018, inventory was overstated $16,000.

Prepare the correcting entry necessary when these errors are discovered. Assume that the books are closed. (Ignore income tax considerations.) (Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select “No Entry” for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts.)

The before-tax income for Marin Co. for 2017 was $110,000 and $79,200 for 2018. However, the accountant noted that the following errors had been made:

1.		Sales for 2017 included amounts of $37,300 which had been received in cash during 2017, but for which the related products were delivered in 2018. Title did not pass to the purchaser until 2018.
2.		The inventory on December 31, 2017, was understated by $8,800.
3.		The bookkeeper in recording interest expense for both 2017 and 2018 on bonds payable made the following entry on an annual basis.

Interest Expense	13,800
Cash		13,800

The bonds have a face value of $230,000 and pay a stated interest rate of 6%. They were issued at a discount of $15,000 on January 1, 2017, to yield an effective-interest rate of 7%. (Assume that the effective-yield method should be used.)

Ordinary repairs to equipment had been erroneously charged to the Equipment account during 2017 and 2018. Repairs in the amount of $8,400 in 2017 and $8,700 in 2018 were so charged. The company applies a rate of 10% to the balance in the Equipment account at the end of the year in its determination of depreciation charges.

Prepare a schedule showing the determination of corrected income before taxes for 2017 and 2018. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -15,000 or parentheses e.g. (15,000). Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 125.)

On January 1, 2017, Vaughn Co. purchased 24,000 shares (a 10% interest) in Elton John Corp. for $1,300,000. At the time, the book value and the fair value of John’s net assets were $12,900,000. On July 1, 2018, Vaughn paid $2,890,000 for 48,000 additional shares of John common stock, which represented a 20% investment in John. The fair value of John’s identifiable assets net of liabilities was equal to their carrying amount of $14,100,000. As a result of this transaction, Vaughn owns 30% of John and can exercise significant influence over John’s operating and financial policies. (Any excess fair value is attributed to goodwill.) John reported the following net income and declared and paid the following dividends.

	Net Income	Dividend per Share
Year ended 12/31/17	$650,000	None
Six months ended 6/30/18	470,000	None
Six months ended 12/31/18	776,000	$1.50
