Chwn Co. is currently preparing its combined financial statements for the year ended December
31, 20x1. As of this date, the “Investment in branch” account has a balance of ₱380,000 while the
“Home office” account has a balance of ₱528,000. The following information has been gathered:
➢ The home office allocated unpaid utilities expenses amounting to ₱40,000 to the branch
which the branch did not record in full. Instead, the branch sent a wrong adjusting memo to the
home office reducing the charge by ₱10,000 and setting up a liability for the remaining amount.
➢ The home office erroneously credited the branch for a return of shipment of merchandise
worth ₱100,000. The branch did not make any return of merchandise.
➢ The branch mistakenly received a copy of the home office correcting entry for item (b)
above dated January 3, 20x2 and entered a credit in favor of the home office on December 31,
20x1.
➢ The branch mistakenly sent the home office a debit memo amounting to ₱12,000 for an
apparent remittance of collections which did not happen. The home office did not record the debit
memo.
