A new CFO was appointed in January 2020 and after review of the financial statements questioned the large write off of assets in December 2019. The Accountant stated these assets were computers and were not being used as the technology was obsolete. New computers were purchased on March 1, 2019 to replace the old ones and these were being depreciated over 5 years using the current policy. The CFO after discussion with management agreed that the reducing balance method at a rate of 30% per annum is more suitable for the computers and instructed the Accountant to make the changes to the depreciation policy. This change meets the requirements of a change in accounting policy. The scrap value of the computers is $5,000.

- As a standard practice, the company does not recognize a provision for a guarantee of good operation of the products sold. Based on past statistics, the cost of repairing damage of products sold in the fiscal year amounts to € 500 while the cost of repairing damaged products sold in previous years amounts to € 600. If the balance sheet net worth is 5000, what will be the actual net worth at the end of the fiscal year?arrow_forwardA purchase of machine tools by Jet Co. for $3,920 should have been capitalized as the tools have a 3 year life and an expected residual value of $560. However, Jet Co. erroneously charged the purchase to Repairs & Maintenance Expense. At year-end closing. Jet's bookkeeper noticed the error and made only one correcting entry resulting in Net Income and Total Assets to be understated: Dr Depreciation Expense $3,920/3 Cr Accumulated Depreciation $3,920/3 Required 1: Assuming you fixed all errors, what is the amount of depreciation expense Jet Co. must show on the year end income statement? $[ Required 2: Assuming you fixed all errors, what is the amount for accumulated depreciation Jet Co. must show on the year end balance sheet? (type it as a positive number) $[ Required 3: Assuming you fixed all errors, what net amount (.e.. cost net of accumulated depreciation) should Jet Co. show for tools on the year end balance sheet? $arrow_forward2. A review of the company's provision for uncollectible accounts during 2023 resulted in a determination that 1.5% of sales is the appropriate amount of loss on impairment to be charged to operations, rather than the 2% used for the preceding two years. Loss on impairment recognized in 2022 and 2021 was $33,200 and $15,300, respectively. The company would have recorded $18,000 of loss on impairment under the old rate for 2023. No entry has yet been made in 2023 for loss on impairment.arrow_forward
