Answer: $420,000 of expense in the income statement as an ordinary item. Douglas’ accounts for this change in estimate in the period of change by reporting the newly calculated amount of bad debt expense as an ordinary item of income. Changes in estimate are not considered an extraordinary item, an error correction, or a change in accounting principle.

MissTica
The best theory which could be used in telling us why there is more and more tattling in the school-age group would most likely be either behavioral or cognitive - so A or B. However, it's most likely that the correct answer would be A as behavioral theories of behavior seem to be more effective for discovering such things.

Western Bank & Trust purchased land and a building for the lump sum of $3 million dollars. To get the maximum tax deduction,
leonid [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Because land never depreciates, Western Bank & Trust wanted to distribute a higher percentage of the purchase price to the building, rather than the land. By allocating 90% of the purchase price to the building, rather than a more accurate 70%, Western Bank & Trust increases the depreciation amount of the building each year. For tax purposes, the IRS requires that the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) be used as the depreciation method used by companies. Under this method, the IRS specifies the useful life for a specific asset. MACRS also ignores residual value of an asset at the end of its useful life. By stating that the building was worth 90% of the total purchase price, Western Bank is attempting to increase its tax deduction from the IRS, because only the building depreciates, not the land. This improper allocation of the total purchase amount violates GAAP principles, which require that accounting information be “relevant and have faithful representation.” The information must be “complete, neutral, and free from error” (Nobles, Mattison, & Matsumura, 2014). For Western Bank to provide complete, neutral, and free from error information, it should record the transaction honestly: 70% to the building, 30% to the land. This dishonest representation is harmful to the federal government in that it is allowing Western Bank to take more money than what it is owed. If these kinds of situations happen on a large scale, it could have a huge impact on the economy in general. Source: Nobles, T., Mattison, B., & Matsumura, E. M. (2014).
