Question

Lindy Company's auditor discovered two errors. No errors were corrected during 2015. The errors are described as follows: Merchandise costing $3,000 was sold to a customer for $8,000 on December 31, 2015, but it was recorded as a sale on January 2, 2016. The merchandise was properly excluded from the 2015 ending inventory. Assume the periodic inventory system is used. A machine with a five-year life was purchased on January 1, 2015. The machine cost $10,000 and has no expected salvage value. No depreciation was taken in 2015 or 2016. Assume the straight-line method for depreciation. Prepare appropriate journal entries (assume the 2016 books have not been closed). Ignore income taxes. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
