1. The interest receivable should be reported separately as a current
asset. It should not be deducted from notes receivable. 2. The allowance for doubtful accounts should be deducted from
accounts receivable.

Switching to a perpetual inventory system will strengthen Onsite Hardware’s internal controls over inventory, since the store managers will be able to keep track of how much of each item is on hand. This should minimize shortages of good-selling items and excess inventories of poor-selling items.
On the other hand, switching to a perpetual inventory system will not eliminate the need to take a physical inventory count. A physical inventory must be taken to verify the accuracy of the inventory records in a perpetual inventory system. In addition, a physical inventory count is needed to detect shortages of inventory due to damage or theft.

When an error is discovered affecting the prior period, it should be corrected. In this case, the merchandise inventory account should be debited and the owner’s capital account credited for $12,800.
Failure to correct the error for 2005 and purposely misstating the inventory and the cost of merchandise sold in 2006 would cause the balance sheets and the income statements for the two years to not be comparable.

1. a. LIFO inventory
2. Under the lifo conformity rule a company selecting lifo for tax
purposes must also use lifo for financial reporting purposes. Thus, in periods of rising prices the reported net income would be lower than b. LIFO cost of goods sold
sold c. LIFO net income d. LIFO income tax
< (less than) > (greater than) < (less than) < (less than)
FIFO inventory FIFO cost of goods FIFO net income FIFO income tax
would be the case under fifo. However, the lower reported income would also be shown on the corporation’s tax return; thus, there is a tax advantage from using lifo. Firms electing to use lifo believe the tax advantage from using lifo outweighs any negative impact from reporting a lower earnings number to shareholders. Lifo is supported because the tax impact is a real cash flow benefit, while a lower lifo earnings number (compared to fifo) is merely the result of a reporting assumption.
