Required:

Verify the depreciation calculations. Are there any errors? Put the errors in the form of an adjusting journal entry, assuming that 90 percent of the depreciation on the buildings and the press has been charged to Cost of Goods Sold and 10 percent is still capitalized in the inventory, and the other depreciation expense is classified as General and Administrative Expense (i.e., building and press depreciation is considered a product cost; inventory on hand includes 10 percent of the depreciation expense for buildings and the press: $180,700; Cost of Goods Sold contains the other 90 percent: $1,626,300). (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required".

Answer 1

Solution

The amount of depreciation calculated on computer B is calculated for the 8 months, not for the whole year. The amount of depreciation will be $ 389000.

The Depreciation on the press is calculated only $75000 instead of $150000.

Adjusted Journal Entry

Accumulated depreciation A/c Dr. $ 269000

To cost of good sold $67500

To Inventory $7500

  To General and administrative expenses $194000
