RETAINED EARNINGS STATEMENT
For the Year Ended December 31, 2011
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, 2011. Assume a tax rate of 40 percent.
1. The corporation disposed of its sporting goods division during 2011. This disposal meets
the criteria for discontinued operations. The division correctly calculated income from
operating this division of $100,000 before taxes and a loss of $12,000 before taxes on the
disposal of the division. All of these events occurred in 2011 and have not been recorded.
2. The company recorded advances of $10,000 to employees made December 31, 2011 as
Salary Expense.
3. Dividends of $10,000 during 2011 were recorded as an operating expense.
4. In 2011, Bakersfield changed its method of accounting for inventory from the first-in-first-
out method to the average cost method. Inventory in 2011 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, 2011 for $45,000 was incorrectly charged to
Office Supplies Expense at the time of purchase. The office equipment has an estimated
three-year service life with no expected salvage 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, 2007, Bakersfield bought a building that cost $85,000, had an estimated
useful life of ten years, and had a salvage value of $5,000. Bakersfield uses the
straight-line depreciation method to depreciate the building. In 2011, it was estimated that
the remaining useful life was eight years and the salvage value was zero. Depreciation
expense reported on the 2011 income statement was correctly calculated based on the
new estimates. No adjustment for prior years' depreciation estimates was made.
Part A. For each item, record corrections to income from continuing operations before
taxes, if any. Denote any negative numbers by using brackets < >.
Income Statement and Related Information 4 - 51
Solution 4-151
Part B. At January 1, 2011, 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 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.
