Answer: d. A company paid for an insurance premium of $6,000 on January 1. The insurance is for a year. Failing to make adjustments for the month of January would overstate assets and stockholder's equity by $6,000.
Explanation:
If a company were to pay $6,000 for Insurance for the YEAR in January, this would be recorded as a PREPAID EXPENSE.
This Prepaid Expense will then be apportioned per month over the year to each month as expenses of $500.
Failing to make adjustments for the month of January would not overstate assets and stockholder's equity by $6,000 but by $500.
Answer:
Dr retained earnings($21,600+$15,800) $37,400.00
Cr accumulated depreciation $21,600
Cr inventory $15,800
Explanation:
The errors that require adjustment are the overstatement and understatement of depreciation expense as well as the December 2021 overstatement of inventory.
The understatement of inventory in 2020 would have self-corrected itself in 2021 since closing inventory in 2020 deducted from costs of goods available for sale would be introduced as opening inventory in 2021.
net effect of depreciation=understatement -overstatement=$37,500-$15,900=$21,600.00
hence retained earnings would reduce by $21,600.00
for the overstatement of inventory,retained earnings would reduce by $15,800

Answer:
Net Sales $2720
Explanation:
Hancock Corporation
Jan 6: Sales $ 1500
Add Jan 6 Sales $ 850
Less Jan 14 Sales Discount $ 30 ( 2% of $ 1500)
<u>Add Feb 28: Sales $ 400</u>
<u>Net Sales $2720 </u>
Only a 2% discount is given on the cash received on Jan 14 on the sales made on JAn 6 to S. Green because the cash is received within the first ten days of sales made. The cash received on Feb 2 is not given the sales discount as it is received after ten days of the sales made. That is sales were done on Jan 6 to M. Munoz. with the terms 2/10, n/30 meaning discount will be given within the first ten days . But as the payment was on Feb 2 almost 17 days later the discount is not given.
The term 2/10 n/30 means a two percent discount will be given if sales were paid within the first ten days. So a discount is given to S. Green but not M. Munoz as payment is done after 10 days.
