1. Penn has failed to accrue sales commissions payable at the end of each of the last 2 years, as follows.
December 31, 2013 $3,500
December 31, 2014 $2,500
2. In reviewing the December 31, 2014, inventory, Penn discovered errors in its inventory-taking procedures that have caused inventories for the last 3 years to be incorrect, as follows
December 31, 2012 Understated $16,000
December 31, 2013 Understated $19,000
December 31, 2014 Overstated $6,700
Penn has already made an entry that established the incorrect December 31, 2014, inventory amount.
3. At December 31, 2014, Penn decided to change the depreciation method on its office equipment from double-declining balance to straight-line. The equipment had an original cost of $100,000 when purchased on January 1, 2012. It has a 10-year useful life and no salvage value. Depreciation expense recorded prior to 2014 under the double-declining -balance method was $36,000. Penn has already recorded 2014 depreciation expense of $12,800 using the double-declining -balance method.
4. Before 2014, Penn accounted for its income from the long-term construction contracts on the completed-contract basis. Early in 2014, Penn changed to the percentage-of-completion basis for accounting purposes. It continues to use the completed-contract method for tax purposes. Income for 2014 has been recorded using the percentage-of-completion method. The following information is available. Pretax Income Prior to 2014 Percentage of Completion $150,000 Completed-Contract $105,000 2014 Percentage-of Completion $60,000 Completed- Contract $20,000 Instructions Prepare the journal entries necessary at December 31, 2014, to record the above corrections and changes. The books are still open for 2014. The income tax rate is 40%. Penn has not yet recorded its 2014 income tax expense and payable amounts so current-year tax effects may be ignored. Prior-year tax effects must be considered in item 4.
