Question:

Sharma Corporation has decided that, in preparing its 2014 financial statements under IFRS, two changes should be made from the methods used in prior years:
1. Depreciation. Sharma has used the tax basis (CCA) method of calculating depreciation for financial reporting purposes. During 2014, management decided that the straight-line method should have been used to calculate depreciation for financial reporting purposes for the years prior to 2014 and going forward. The following schedule identifies the excess of depreciation based on CCA over depreciation based on straight-line, for the past years and for the current year:
Excess of CCA-based Depreciation
over Straight-Line Depreciation
Calculated for Financial Statement Purposes
Prior to 2013 ............................... $1,365,000
2013 ......................................... 106,050
2014 ......................................... 103,950
$1,575,000
Depreciation is charged to cost of sales and to selling, general, and administrative expenses on the basis of 75% and 25%, respectively.
2. Bad debt expense. In the past, Sharma recognized bad debt expense equal to 1.5% of net sales. After careful review, it has been decided that a rate of 1.75% is more appropriate for 2014. Bad debt expense is charged to selling, general, and administrative expenses.
The following information is taken from preliminary financial statements, which were prepared before including the effects of the two changes.
