They were issued at a discount of $14,000 on January 1, 2017, to yield an effective-interest rate of 7%. (Assume that the effective-yield method should be used.)

Answer 1

Corrected income before tax year 2017 = $65,690

Corrected income before tax year 2018 = $102,467

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

Particular Year 2017 ($) Year 2018 ($)

Income before tax 101,000 84,100

Corrections

1. In 2017, unearned sales -36,200

Sales added in 2018 36,200

2. In 2017, understated ending inventory 9,500

In 2018, overstated opening inventory -9,500

3. Add-wrongly charged interest expenses 13,800 13,800

Less-actual interest expenses

In 2017 ($230,000-$14,000)×7%=$216,000×7% -15,120

In 2018, bond of carrying amount

=$216,000+($15,120-$13,800)=$217,320

In 2018, Actual interest expense=($217,320×7%) -15,212

4 Add-wrongly charged depreciation expenses

In 2017=($8,100×10%) 810

In 2018,=($8,100-$810)×10%+$8,500×10% = 1,579

Less-actual expenses for repairs -8,100 -8,500

Corrected income before tax 65,690 102,467
