You are the accountant for a division of a company that is constructing a building for its own use. It is January 2020, and you are working on closing the books for 2019. The CEO of the division stops by your office and says, “I have some questions about our building. Although we started construction at the beginning of June this year, we started planning it at the beginning of the previous year. I believe that we can capitalize interest since then. Check to see if we did capitalize some in 2018. If not, we can take it out of this year’s expense and get a double dose. Also, I want you to add lots of overhead to the cost of the building so we can increase our profit for this year. For example, you spent quite a bit of time on the project. So perhaps we could add 1/12 of your salary to the cost of the building. You get the idea?” When the CEO leaves, you check the files and find a letter to an architect dated January 2, 2018. There are numerous subsequent letters to and from the…

Garrett Corporation began operations in 2021. To maintain its accounting records, Garrett entered into a two-year agreement with Accurite Company. The agreement specifies that Garrett will pay $85,000 to Accurite immediately, and in return, Accurite will make its accounting software accessible via the Internet to Garrett and maintain all infrastructure necessary to run the software and store records. At any time, Garrett Corporation can freely remove its records and run the software on its own hardware or that of another accounting services company. In addition to the cost of the agreement, Garrett incurred $15,000 early in the year devising a plan for its accounting software needs, $25,000 for customizing its own computers for integration with Accurite’s software, and $20,000 after the software was implemented to train its employees.
