Explanation:
Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.
The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:
The following errors can be identified in the accountant's adjusting entries:
1.The accountant debited the account receivable for $5,000 (i.e. $23,250 - $18,250 = $5,000) without crediting laundry revenue.
Therefore, we should have:
Correct amount of laundry revenue = Laundry revenue in trial balance + (Adjusted account receivable - Unadjusted account receivable) = $182,100 + ($23,250 - $18,250) = $187100
2. The accountant debited laundry suppliers expense instead of crediting laundry suppliers for $3,000.
3. The the accountant credited Prepaid insurance for $3,600 (i.e. $5,200 - $1,600 = $3,600). However, the insurance expense was debited for $600.
4. Instead of crediting accumulated depreciation, the laundry equipment for depreciation expense was erroneously credited by the accountant for $13,000.
5. A debit of $1,000 to wages expense was not made by the accountant.
<u>Additional Note:</u>
After correcting the errors identified above, the correct adjusted trial balance will look as the one in the attached photo.
Answer:
Cost, residual value, and service life
Explanation:
The computation of depreciation requires three (3) inputs.
Cost: the acquisition cost of the asset
Residual value: the value at which the asset will be sold
Service life: the number of years the assets will be used by a company (also known as useful life).
Thus
Physical life will be inappropriate because the physical life includes not only the useful life of the asset in a company, but also the life of the asset when it is sold.
The fair value of an comes into play when the asset is revalued, usually for a sale. Replacement value is similar to fair value as it is the market value of the asset at a given point in time.
