Chapter 18, Problem 66P

At the end of 2020, Magenta Manufacturing Company discovered that construction cost had been capitalized as a cost of the factory building in 2015 when it should have been treated as a cost of production equipment installation costs. As a result of the misclassification, the depreciation through 2018 was understated by $110,000, and depreciation for 2019 was understated by $90,000. What would be the consequences of correcting for the misclassification of the property cost?

  2. b. The taxpayer uses the LIFO inventory method, and no new LIFO layer was added during 2019.

On January 1, 2019, Uptown Builders purchased a machine for $200,000.  Uptown's policy is to depreciate this type of machinery using straight-line depreciation, over five years, with no residual value.  Because of a bookkeeping error, no depreciation was recognized in Uptown's 2019 or 2020 financial statements.  The error was discovered during the preparation of the 2021 financial statements.  Ignoring income taxes, the impact of this error on retained earnings prior to any 2021 adjustments is:   Question 8 options:   Overstatement of $80,000   Understatement of $120,000   Understatement of $80,000   Overstatement of $120,000
Tracy Ltd. purchased a piece of equipment on January 1, 2016, for $1,260,000. At that time, it was estimated that the machine would have a 15-year life and no residual value. On December 31, 2020, Tracy’s controller found that the entry for depreciation expense was omitted in error in 2017. In addition, Tracy planned to switch to double-declining-balance depreciation because of a change in the pattern of benefits received, starting with the year 2020. Tracy currently uses the straight-line method for depreciating equipment. Prepare the general journal entries, if any, the accountant should make at December 31, 2020. (Ignore tax effects.) (Credit account titles are automatically indented when the 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. Round the rate of deprecition under double decling balance method to 5 decimal places, ie. 13.33333%. Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,125.)…
