As Jefferson's accountant, you have received the trial balance above as well as the general ledger. The review has found the following errors:
• Year end bank reconciliation showed that the balance should be $30,000. A customer should have been billed for commissions earned but it was recorded as a cash payment of the commission income.
• Membership expenses are not related to the business and should be shown as a dividend to shareholder.
• Depreciation expense should be $3,500 for the year.
• Supplies expenses failed to record $2,000 in packing supplies used during the year.
• Accounts receivables that have not been billed $10,000.
Required:
1. Record the correcting entry.
2. Prepare financial statements
3. Current owners want $250,000 for the business. Jefferson does not want to pay more than Net Worth x 1.5. Should he buy? For how much?
