                            For the Year Ended December 31, 2019
The accountant preparing the income statement for Bakersfield, Inc. had some doubts about the
appropriate accounting treatment of the six items listed below during the fiscal year ending
December 31, 2019. Assume a tax rate of 40 percent.
1.     The corporation disposed of its sporting goods division during 2019. This disposal meets
       the criteria for discontinued operations. The division correctly calculated income from
       operating this division of €150,000 before taxes and a loss of €20,000 before taxes on the
       disposal of the division. All of these events occurred in 2019 and have not been recorded.
2.     The company recorded advances of €15,000 to employees made December 31, 2019 as
       Salaries and Wages Expense.
3.     Dividends of $10,000 during 2019 were recorded as an operating expense.
4.     In 2019, Bakersfield changed its method of accounting for inventory from the first-in first-
       out method to the average cost method. Inventory in 2019 was correctly recorded using
       the average cost method. The new inventory method would have resulted in an additional
       €125,000 of cost of goods sold (before taxes) being reported on prior years' income
       statement.
5.     Office equipment purchased January 1, 2019 for €60,000 was incorrectly charged to
       Supplies Expense at the time of purchase. The office equipment has an estimated three-
       year service life with no expected residual value. Bakersfield uses the straight-line method
       to depreciate office equipment for financial reporting purposes. This error has not been
       corrected.
6.     On January 1, 2015, Bakersfield bought a building that cost €85,000, had an estimated
       useful life of ten years, and had a residual value of €5,000. Bakersfield uses the
       straight-line depreciation method to depreciate the building. In 2019, it was estimated that
       the remaining useful life was eight years and the residual value was zero. Depreciation
       expense reported on the 2019 income statement was correctly calculated based on the
       new estimates. No adjustment for prior years' depreciation estimates was made.
       Part A. For each item, indicate corrections to income from continuing operations before
       taxes, if any. Denote any negative numbers by using brackets < >.
Solution 4-151
Part B. At January 1, 2019, Bakersfield, Inc.'s retained earnings balance was €200,000.
Assume that income before income tax and after correctly considering any of the six
additional items in Part A was €1,000,000. Prepare the income statement and retained
earnings statement. Denote negative numbers by using brackets < >. Do not
disclose earnings per share data.
