1. The company purchased equipment on January 2, 2009, for $165000. At that time, the equipment had an estimated useful life of 7 years with a $25000 salvage value. The equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis. On January 2, 2012, as a result of additional information, the company determined that the equipment has a remaining useful life of 3 years with a $15000 salvage value.

It had a useful life of 10 years and a salvage value of $50000. The following computations present depreciation on both bases for 2010 and 2011.

December 31, 2011 $ 5,400

5. In reviewing the December 31, 2011, inventory, the company discovered errors in its inventory-taking procedures that have caused inventories for the last 3 years to be incorrect, as follows.

December 31, 2010 Understated $ 32,000

December 31, 2011 Understated $ 51,000

December 31, 2012 Overstated $ 9,500

The equipment had an original cost of $250000 when purchased on January 1, 2011. It has a salvage value of 0 and an 8-year useful life. Depreciation expense recorded prior to 2012 under the double-declining-balance method was $62500. The company has already recorded 2012 depreciation expense of $46875 using the double-declining-balance method.

7. Before the current year, the company accounted for its income from long-term construction contracts on the completed-contract basis.

Income for the current year has been recorded using the new method. Prior year tax effects must be considered. The following information is available.

Pretax Income

Percentage-of-Completion Completed-Contract

Prior to 2012 $320,000 $180,000

2012 $140,000 $120,000
