Ivanhoe Corp. reported net incomes for the past three years as follows:
$246,000 $230,000
1.
2023
2.
2022
3.
During the 2023 year-end audit, the following items come to your attention:
2021
$183,000
Ivanhoe bought a truck on January 1, 2020 for $103,900 cash, with an $7,900 estimated residual value and a six-year life. The
company debited an expense account for the entire cost of the asset. Ivanhoe uses straight-line depreciation for all trucks.
During 2023, Ivanhoe changed from straight-line depreciation for its cement plant to double declining balance. The following
calculations present depreciation on both bases:
Straight-line
2023
$18,780
Double-declining-balance 24,101
2022
2021
$18,780 $18,780
31,300
37,560
The net income for 2023 was calculated using the double declining balance method.
In reviewing its provision for uncollectible accounts during 2023, the corporation has determined that 1% is the appropriate
amount of bad debt expense to be charged to operations. The company had used 1/2 of 1% as its rate in 2022 and 2021 when
the expense had been $8,910 and $5,800, respectively. Ivanhoe recorded bad debt expense using the new rate for 2023. If
they had used the old rate, they would have recorded $3,110 less bad debt expense on December 31, 2023.
