Error Analysis and Correcting Entry You have been engaged to review the financial statements
of Longfellow Corporation. In the course of your examination you conclude that the bookkeeper
hired during the current year is not doing a good job. You notice a number of irregularities as
follows.1. Year-end wages payable of $3,400 were not recorded because the bookkeeper
thought that “they were immaterial.”2. Accrued vacation pay for the year of $31,100 was not
recorded because the bookkeeper “never heard that you had to do it.”3. Insurance for a
12-month period purchased on November 1 of this year was charged to insurance expense in
the amount of $3,300 because “the amount of the check is about the same every year.” 4.
Reported sales revenue for the year is $1,908,000. This includes all sales taxes collected for
the year. The sales tax rate is 6%. Because the sales tax is forwarded to the state’s
Department of Revenue, the Sales Tax Expense account is debited. The bookkeeper thought
that “the sales tax is a selling expense.” At the end of the current year, the balance in the Sales
Tax Expense account is $103,400. Prepare the necessary correcting entries, assuming that
Longfellow uses a calendar-year basis.View Solution:
