Question:

McIntosh Corporation has decided that, in preparing its 2011 financial statements under IFRS, two changes should be made from the methods used in prior years:
1. Depreciation. McIntosh has always used the CCA method for tax and financial reporting purposes (as a variant of the declining-balance method). Prior to 2011, the company€™s only investors were members of the McIntosh family. Accordingly, the company did not have audited financial statements in the past, and it used CCA for financial reporting purposes as many private companies do that do not need their statements audited. The CCA method was more efficient in preparing financial information. During 2011, however, the company obtained financing through a share issuance. With the larger number of investors now using its financial statements, the company reviewed its depreciation method in preparation for an audit. Management has decided that the declining balance method would have been a more appropriate method for financial reporting, and the following schedule identifies the excess of CCA claimed in the past and expected for the current year over the declining balance amounts that should have been reported.

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, McIntosh 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 2011. 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.
