Correction Entries for Error Rectification
Question
You have been asked to review the books of Sergio Company on December 30, 2012, before year-end closing. In your audit, you discover certain items that occurred between the years 2010 through 2012. No errors were corrected during those years. The items are summarized below:
a. On January 1, 2010, Sergio Company purchased a piece of manufacturing equipment for $102,000. It had a $6,000 salvage value and a 10-year useful life. In computing depreciation expense, the bookkeeper failed to deduct salvage value for all years recorded.
b. The bookkeeper failed to record $55,000 of wages expense in 2011.
c. The purchase of a $62,500 of Trading Securities was originally recorded in the Investments section of the Balance Sheet. These securities were purchased in 2011.
d. Beginning merchandise inventory on January 1, 2010 was understated by $10,550.
e. On October 31st, 2010, Sergio issued a one-year note receivable for $15,300. Payment of the 10 percent note and accrued interest was received upon maturity. The entry on October 31st, 2011 was a debit to Cash for $16,830, a credit to Note Receivable for $15,300, and a credit to Interest Revenue for $1,530. No adjusting entry was made on December 31, 2010.
f. Goods costing $2,800 were sold for $4,400 to Renfro Co. on December 30, 2010, but the sale was recorded in 2011. The merchandise was shipped F.O.B. shipping point and was not included in ending inventory. Sergio uses a periodic inventory system.
g. A two-year fire insurance policy was purchased on May 30, 2010, for $8,850. No adjusting entry was made in 2010 or 2011.
h. At the beginning of 2012, the company changed its method of accounting for bad debts from the direct write-off method to the allowance method. It was determined that an allowance of $45,000 should be established on that date.
i. A delivery truck with a ten-year life was purchased on January 1, 2010, for $48,800. No depreciation expense was recorded during 2010 or 2011. Assume that the equipment has no salvage value and that Sergio uses the straight-line method for recording depreciation.
j. In 2012, the company switched from FIFO to LIFO for its inventory valuation. Net income computed using FIFO for years 2010 – 2012 is: 2010- $120,000; 2011 - $80,000 and 2012- $165,000. Net income computed using LIFO for years 2010 – 2012 is: 2010 - $80,000; 2011 - $50,000; 2012 - $130,000.
Instructions:

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
Operations management was my minor during my MBA but I faced much challenges with the problems and assignments. So once when I was stuck with my supply chain management assignment my friend Joan told me about this website. The feedback I got from them was very positive and the assignment was also very well done. All the calculations and the charts were displayed in proper manner and from then onwards I constantly took help from them.
Lisa Gracey Student
My main concern was the relevant local Wellington research and reference work that was required for the final Statistics Assignment for my post graduate program at the Victoria University of Wellington. My professor was very particular about his requirement of relevant local data and samples from Wellington. With the stats assignment expert at TheReliableTutor I did not have to worry about that since the expert provided the most excellent and relevant local data and references helping me to top the class.
Shae MacMillan Student
My main concern was the research that needed to be done for the human resources assignments for my undergraduate program. Keeping up with the course load and assignments from the other professors I was having a tough time. With TheReliableTutor, the tutors help out with the research saving my time and assisting me in submitting well researched and balanced assignments.
Gavin Rogers Student
My professor had mandated that the class had to use legal case studies from the Dunedin area to support our argument for the criminal law assignment essay topic. Since the research would take hours out of my already packed schedule I contacted HwA for help. They paired me with a law assignment expert who was herself practicing in Dunedin and what can I say, my assignment had some of the best case studies in the class.
Simon Hales Student
From topic selection to questionnaire design, HwA has helped me in every step for my dissertation writing. They incorporated every change asked by my professor and at the end of everything I got excellent grades.

I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
