In 2011, the company was acquired by one of its major customers. As part of an internal audit, the following facts were discovered. The audit occurred during 2011 before any adjusting entries or closing entries were prepared. The income tax rate is 40% for all years.a. A five-year casualty insurance policy was purchased at the beginning of 209 for 35,000. The full amount was debited to insurance expense at the time.b. On December 31, 2010, merchandise inventory was overstated by 25,000 due to a mistake in the physical inventory count using the periodic inventory system.c. The company changed inventory cost methods to FIFO from LIFO at the end of 2011 for both financial statement and income tax purposes. The change will cause a 960,000 increase in the beginning inventory at January 1, 2010.d. At the end of 2010, the company failed to accrue 15,500 of sales commissions earned by employees during 2010. The expense was recorded when the commissions were paid in early 2011.e. At the beginning of 2009, the company purchased a machine at a cost of 720,000. Its useful life was estimated to be 10 years with no salvage value. The machine has been depreciated by the double-declining balance method. Its carrying amount on December 31, 2010, was 460,800. On January 1, 2011, the company changed to the straight-line method.f. Additional industrial robots were acquired at the beginning of 2008 and added to the company’s assembly process. The 1,000,000 cost of the equipment was inadvertently recorded as repair expense. Robots have 10-year useful lives and no material salvage value. The class of equipment is depreciated by the straight-line method for both financial reporting and income tax reporting.Required:For each situation1. Identify whether it represents an accounting change or an error. If an accounting changes, identify the type of change.2. Prepare any journal entry necessary as a direct result of the change or error correction as well as any adjusting entry for 2011 related to the situation described.

E 16-24 Balance sheet classificationAt December 31, DePaul Corporation had a 16 million balance in its deferred tax asset account and a 68 million balance in its deferred tax liability account.

Accounting- Holly Manufacturing Company Accounting- Holly Manufacturing Company Question Molly Manufacturing CaseHolly Manufacturing Company produces two cello models. One is a standard acoustic cello that sells for $600 and is constructedfrom medium-grade materials. The other model is a custom-made amplified cello with pearl inlays and a body constructed from special woods.The custom cello sells for $900. Both cellos require 10 hours of direct labor to produce, but the custom cello is manufactured by moreexperienced workers who are paid at a higher rate.Most of Holly’s sales come from the standard cello, but sales of the custom model have been growing. Following is the company’s sales,production, and cost information for last year:Cello Standard CustomSales and production volume in units 900 100Unit Selling Price $600.00 $900.00Unit costs:Direct materials $150.00 $375.00Direct labor $180.00 $240.00Manufacturing overhead* $135.00 $135.00Total unit costs $465.00 $750.00Unit Gross Profit $135.00 $150.00Direct Labor Hours 10.00 10.00Direct Labor Rate Per Hour $18.00 $24.00*Manufacturing overhead costs:Building depreciation $ 40,000Maintenance 15,000.00Purchasing 20,000.00Inspection 12,000.00Indirect materials 15,000.00Supervision 30,000.00Supplies 3,000.00Total manufacturing overhead costs $135,000.00These manufacturing overhead costs are fixed in nature: they do not vary with the volume of manufacturing activity.The company allocates overhead costs using the traditional method. Its activity base is direct labor hours. The predetermined overhead rate,based on 10,000 direct labor hours, is $13.50 ($135,000 ÷ 10,000 direct labor hours).Johann Brahms, president of Holly, is concerned that the traditional cost-allocation system the company is using may not be generating accurateinformation and that the selling price of the custom cello may not be covering its true cost.Questions To Be Answered1. The cost-allocation system Holly has been using allocates 90% of overhead costs to thestandard cello because 90% of direct labor hours were spent on the standard model.How much overhead was allocated to each of the two models last year?Discuss why this might not be an accurate way to assign overhead costs to products.2. How would the use of more than one cost pool improve Holly's cost allocation?Use the data below for the questions which follow.Holly's controller developed the following data for use in activity-based costing:3. Use activity-based costing to allocate the costs of overhead per unit and in total to each model of cello.Manufacturing Standard CustomOverhead Cost Amount Cost Driver Cello CelloBuilding depreciation $40,000 Square footage 3,000 1,000Maintenance $15,000 Direct labor hours 9,000 1,000Purchasing $20,000 # of purchase orders 1,500 500Inspection $12,000 # of inspections 400 600Indirect materials $15,000 # of units manufactured 900 100Supervision $30,000 # of inspections 400 600Supplies $3,000 # of units manufactured 900 100Total $135,0004.

At the current selling price, is the company covering its true cost of production? Briefly discuss7. What should Holly Manufacturing do about the situation?8. What should Holly Manufacturing do if the quantity of custom cellos sold at the new price falls to 50 per year?9. What should Holly Manufacturing do about the situation if the price of the custom cello cannot exceed $900?10. At a selling price of $1,000 each, what is the breakeven unit volume for the custom cello?11. What are the lessons learned from this case?
