Provided that the company is using a calendar year in preparing their financial statements, the financial statements would be prepared at year end. Upon the declaration of the cash dividend, the company would be recognizing a liability. This would be considered as a non-adjusting event since it can be clearly concluded that the payment happened after the reporting period<span>. This would not affect the financial statements of the year 2015.</span>

Income Statment:

Trucking fees earned                 130,000

Depreciation expense—Trucks (23,500)

Salaries expense                         (61,000)

Office supplies expense               (8,000)

Repairs expense—Trucks        <u>  (12,000)  </u>

                  Net Income               25,500

Retained Earnings

Beginning       155,000

Net Income      25,500

Dividends     <u>  (20,000)  </u>

Ending            160,500

Balance Sheet:

Cash                             8,000    Accounts payable         12,000

Accounts receivable  17,500     Interest payable             4,000

Office supplies          <u>   3,000 </u>    Total current liabilities 16,000

Total Current Assets: 28,500    Long-term                     53,000

Trucks (net)               136,000   Total liabilities                69,000

Land                          <u> 85,000</u>    Common Stock             20,000

                                                   Total Equity                 180,500

Total Assets             249,500    Liabilities + Equity    249,500

Explanation:

For the income statement we list the revenue and then, we subtract all the expenses account.

Retained Earnings will be beginning + income - dividends. This value will go into the balance sheet.

For the balance sheet, we display assets into both categories:

current: who are going to be converted into cash within a year.

and non-current like the truck and the land which are going to be in the company's book for more than a year before converting into cash.

Liabilities and equity will be in the other side and their sum should match the total assets.

Sheridan Co. purchased machinery that cost $2650000 on January 4, 2019. The entire cost was recorded as an expense. The machiner
Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

Recording the entire cost as expense would have understated retained earnings by $2,650,000

Annual depreciation on machine = ( Purchase cost - Residual value ) / Useful life

= ($2,650,000 - $165,000) / 9

= $2,485,000 / 9

= $276,111.11

Depreciation would have been recorded for $552,222 for 2 years had the machinery been corrected recorded I.e $276,111 × 2 = $552,222

Therefore , the cumulative effect of this error on the income statement of Sheridan for the year ended, 31 December 2021 would have shown

= $2,650,000 - $552,222

= $2,097,779
