ACC 423 Week 2 Signature Assignment
Codification Research Paper (2 Papers)
This Tutorial contains 2 Papers
What is a Signature Assignment?
A signature assignment is designed to align with specific program
student learning outcome(s) for a program. Program Student Learning
Outcomes are broad statements that describe what students should
know and be able to do upon completion of their degree. The
signature assignments are graded with an automated rubric that allows
the University to collect data that can be aggregated across a location
or college/school and used for program improvements.
Resource: FASB Codification Link.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper.

Your client, Cascade Company, is planning to invest some of its
excess cash in 5-year revenue bonds issued by the county and in the
stock of one of its suppliers, Teton Co. Teton's shares trade on the
over-the-counter market. The company would like you to conduct
some research on the accounting for these investments.
Instructions:
Access the FASB Codification.
Once you login using the username and password provided from the
link above "login instructions" click on Education (from the menu
across the top) > select FASB & GARS > click on FASB User Login
and use the same credentials given for the initial login page. That will
get you to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (professional
view) page.
Review the log-in instructions.
Provide Codification references for your responses below.
Incorporate your review of the FASB link to determine when the fair
value of a security "readily determinable".
Since the Teton shares do not trade on one of the large stock markets,
Cascade argues that the fair value of this investment is not readily
available.
Describe how an impairment of a security is accounted for.
Determine how close to maturity Cascade could sell an investment
and still classify it as held-to-maturity.
To avoid volatility in their financial statements due to fair value
adjustments, Cascade debated whether the bond investment could be
classified as held-to-maturity; Cascade is pretty sure it will hold the
bonds for five years.
List disclosures that must be made for any sale or transfer from
securities classified as held-to-maturity.
Format your paper consistent with APA standards.
Submit your assignment to the Assignment Files tab.
Assignment Deliverables Summary:
1. How can the shares investment in Teton Inc. fair value be
determined according to GAAP, provide FASB codification
reference?

2. How should the bond investment in a County Government be
classified if Cascade Company does not plan to hold the bond to its
maturity? can the management change its intention in later years?
3. Under what condition and factors for an equity investment to be
considered as "impaired", provide FASB codification reference?
4. What are the disclosure requirements for reclassification of sale or
transfer of security from one category to another?

purposes. For years prior to 2017, pretax income under the two
methods was as follows: percentage-of-completion $114,600, and
completed-contract $84,000. The tax rate is 40%.
Prepare Sage’s 2017 journal entry to record the change in accounting
principle.
Brief Exercise 22-4
Culver Company changed depreciation methods in 2017 from double-
declining-balance to straight-line. Depreciation prior to 2017 under
double-declining-balance was $87,900, whereas straight-line
depreciation prior to 2017 would have been $54,900. Culver’s
depreciable assets had a cost of $241,300 with a $43,800 salvage
value, and an 8-year remaining useful life at the beginning of 2017.
Prepare the 2017 journal entry related to Culver’s depreciable assets
(Equipment
Brief Exercise 22-7
At January 1, 2017, Coronado Company reported retained earnings of
$1,970,000. In 2017, Coronado discovered that 2016 depreciation
expense was understated by $436,000. In 2017, net income was
$878,000 and dividends declared were $243,000. The tax rate is 40%.
Prepare a 2017 retained earnings statement for Coronado Company.
Brief Exercise 22-8

Indicate the effect—Understate, Overstate, No Effect—that each of
the following errors has on 2017 net income and 2018 net income.
a) Equipment purchased in 2015 was
expensed.
(b) Wages payable were not recorded at
12/31/17.
(c) Equipment purchased in 2017 was
expensed.
(d) 2017 ending inventory was
overstated.
(e) Patent amortization was not recorded in
2018.
Exercise 22-2
Metlock Company began operations on January 1, 2015, and uses the
average-cost method of pricing inventory. Management is
contemplating a change in inventory methods for 2018. The following
information is available for the years 2015–2017.
(a) Prepare the journal entry necessary to record a change from the
average cost method to the FIFO method in 2018.
(b) Determine net income to be reported for 2015, 2016, and 2017,
after giving effect to the change in accounting principle.
(c) Assume Metlock Company used the LIFO method instead of the
average cost method during the years 2015–2017. In 2018, Metlock
changed to the FIFO method. Prepare the journal entry necessary to
record the change in principle.
Presented below are income statements prepared on a LIFO and FIFO
basis for Riverbed Company, which started operations on January 1,
2016. The company presently uses the LIFO method of pricing its
inventory and has decided to switch to the FIFO method in 2017. The
FIFO income statement is computed in accordance with the
requirements of GAAP. Riverbed’s profit-sharing agreement with its
employees indicates that the company will pay employees 10% of
income before profit-sharing. Income taxes are ignored.

Assume that Riverbed has a beginning balance of retained earnings at
January 1, 2017, of $891 using the LIFO method. The company
declared and paid dividends of $520 in 2017. Prepare the retained
earnings statement for 2017, assuming that Riverbed has switched to
the FIFO method.
Exercise 22-10
Listed below are various types of accounting changes and errors.
For each change or error, indicate how it would be accounted for
using the following code:
1. Change in a plant asset’s salvage value.

2. Change due to overstatement of inventory.
3. Change from sum-of-the-years’-digits to straight-line
method of depreciation.
4. Change from presenting unconsolidated to
consolidated financial statements.
5. Change from LIFO to FIFO inventory
method.
6. Change in the rate used to compute warranty
costs.
7. Change from an unacceptable accounting principle to
an acceptable accounting principle.
8. Change in a patent’s amortization period.
9. Change from completed-contract to percentage-of-
completion method on construction contracts.
10. Change from FIFO to average-cost inventory
method.
Exercise 22-11
Sandhill Co. purchased a equipment on January 1, 2015, for
$594,000. At that time, it was estimated that the equipment would
have a 10-year life and no salvage value. On December 31, 2018, the
firm’s accountant found that the entry for depreciation expense had
been omitted in 2016. In addition, management has informed the
accountant that the company plans to switch to straight-line
depreciation, starting with the year 2018. At present, the company
uses the sum-of-the-years’-digits method for depreciating equipment.
Prepare the general journal entries that should be made at December
31, 2018, to record these events. (Ignore tax effects.)
Exercise 22-16
You have been engaged to review the financial statements of
Larkspur 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 $3,490 were not recorded because the
bookkeeper thought that “they were immaterial.”

2
.
Accrued vacation pay for the year of $28,400 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 $2,532
because “the amount of the check is about the same every year.”
4
.
Reported sales revenue for the year is $2,116,820. 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 $102,020.
Prepare the necessary correcting entries, assuming that Larkspur uses
a calendar-year basis. The books for the current year have not been
closed.
Exercise 22-17
The reported net incomes for the first 2 years of Windsor Products,
Inc., were as follows: 2017, $139,100; 2018, $189,700. Early in 2019,
the following errors were discovered.
1
.
Depreciation of equipment for 2017 was overstated $15,900.
2
.
Depreciation of equipment for 2018 was understated $36,700.
3
.
December 31, 2017, inventory was understated $52,300.
4
.
December 31, 2018, inventory was overstated $16,300.
Prepare the correcting entry necessary when these errors are
discovered. Assume that the books are closed. (Ignore income tax
considerations.)
Exercise 22-20

The before-tax income for Buffalo Co. for 2017 was $111,000 and
$75,100 for 2018. However, the accountant noted that the following
errors had been made:
1
.
Sales for 2017 included amounts of $37,400 which had been
received in cash during 2017, but for which the related products
were delivered in 2018. Title did not pass to the purchaser until
2018.
2
.
The inventory on December 31, 2017, was understated by $8,800.
3
.
The bookkeeper in recording interest expense for both 2017 and
2018 on bonds payable made the following entry on an annual
basis.
Interest
Expense
11,50
0
Cash
11,50
0
The bonds have a face value of $230,000 and pay a stated interest
rate of 5%. They were issued at a discount of $16,000 on January 1,
2017, to yield an effective-interest rate of 6%. (Assume that the
effective-yield method should be used.)
4
.
Ordinary repairs to equipment had been erroneously charged to the
Equipment account during 2017 and 2018. Repairs in the amount
of $9,200 in 2017 and $10,200 in 2018 were so charged. The
company applies a rate of 10% to the balance in the Equipment
account at the end of the year in its determination of depreciation
charges.
Prepare a schedule showing the determination of corrected income
before taxes for 2017 and 2018.
Exercise 22-22
On January 1, 2017, Marin Co. purchased 22,000 shares (a 10%
interest) in Elton John Corp. for $1,480,000. At the time, the book

value and the fair value of John’s net assets were $12,100,000.
On July 1, 2018, Marin paid $3,340,000 for 44,000 additional shares
of John common stock, which represented a 20% investment in John.
The fair value of John’s identifiable assets net of liabilities was equal
to their carrying amount of $13,200,000. As a result of this
transaction, Marin owns 30% of John and can exercise significant
influence over John’s operating and financial policies. (Any excess
fair value is attributed to goodwill.)
John reported the following net income and declared and paid the
following dividends.
