Natasha‘s Product, Inc,. acquired a packaging machine from Coffee Inc on January 1, 2009. In payment for the machine Natasha issued a three year installment note to be paid in three equal payment at the end of each year. The payment include interest at rate 10%. Coffee Inc made a conceptual error in preparing the amortization schedule, which Natasha's failed to discover until 2011. The error had cause Natasha to understand interest expenses by $45,000 in 2009 and 40,000 in 2010.

Required:

1- Determine which account are incorrect as a result of these errors at January 1,2011, before any adjustments. Explain your answer (Ignore income taxes.)

2- Prepare a Journal entry to correct the error.

3- What other step(s) would be taken in connection with the error?

Requirement 1

The error caused both 2009 net income and 2010 net income to be overstated, so retained earnings is overstated by a total of $85,000. In addition, the note payable would be understated by the same amount. Remember, the entry to record interest is:

Interest expense...................................................................................... xxx
Note payable (difference).......................................................... xxx
Cash............................................................................. xxx

So, if interest expense is understated, the reduction in the note will be too much, causing the balance in that account to be understated.
