Question

In examining the books, the auditor found that certain items had been overlooked or incorrectly handled in the last 3 years. These items are: At the beginning of 2016, the company purchased a machine for $552,000 (salvage value of $55,200) that had a useful life of 6 years.

It was determined that the company owed an additional $87,000 in taxes related to 2016. The company did not record a liability in 2016 or 2017 because the possibility of loss was considered remote, and charged the $87,000 to a loss account in 2018 Windsor Company purchased a copyright from another company early in 2016 for $52,000. Windsor had not amortized the copyright because its value had not diminished. The copyright has a useful life at purchase of 20 years In 2018, the company wrote off $89,000 of inventory considered to be obsolete; this loss was charged directly to Retained Earnings 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
