compute separately the increase or decrease in net income arising from the company’s errors
in determining or entering depreciation or in recording transactions affecting trucks, ignoring
income tax considerations.(b) Prepare one compound journal entry as of December 31, 2011,
for adjustment of the Semi-trucks account to reflect the correct balances as revealed by your
schedule, assuming that the books have not been closed for 2011.View Solution:
