Problem 86

Dyke Company's net incomes for the past three years are presented below:
2016 2015 2014 $479,800 $451,000 $361,500
During the 2016 year-end audit, the following items come to your attention:
1. Dyke bought equipment on January 1, 2013 for $392,700 with a $33,200 estimated salvage value and a 5-year life. The company debited an expense account and credited cash on the purchase date for the entire cost of the asset. (Straight-line method) 2. During 2016, Dyke changed from the straight-line method of depreciating its cement plant to the double-declining balance method. The following computations present depreciation on both bases: 2016 2015 2014 Straight-line 38,000 38,000 38,700 Double-declining 47,400 58,100 72,900 The net income for 2016 was computed using the double-declining balance method, on the January 1, 2016 book value, over the useful life remaining at that time. The depreciation recorded in 2016 was $73,600. 3. Dyke, in reviewing its provision for uncollectibles during 2014, has determined that 1.00% is the appropriate amount of bad debt expense to be charged to operations. The company had used 1/2 of 1.00% as its rate in 2015 and 2016 when the expense had been $19,200 and $12,300, respectively. The company recorded bad debt expense under the new rate for 2016. The company would have recorded $6,600 less of bad debt expense on December 31, 2016 under the old rate.
