The controller for Haley Corporation is concerned about certain business transactions that the company experienced during 2015. The controller, after discussing these matters ,,vith various individuals, has come to you for advice. The transactions at issue are presented below.

1. The company has decided to switch from the direct write-off method in accounting for bad debt expense to the percentage-of-sales approach. Assume that Haley Corporation has recognized bad debt expense as the receivables have actually become uncollectible in the following way:

The controller estimates that an additional $66,600 will be charged off in 2016: $11,000 applicable to 2014 sales and $55,000 to 2015 sales.

2. Inventory has been shipped on consignment. These transactions have been recorded as ordinary sales and billed as such on account. At December 31, 2015, inventory billed and in the hands of consignees amounted to $427,600. The percentage markup on selling price is 22%. Assume that consigned inventory is sold the following year. The company uses the perpetual inventory system.

3. During the current year, the company sold $600,900 of goods on the installment basis. The cost of sales associated with these goods sold is $449,800. The company inadvertently handled these sales and related costs as part of the regular sales transactions. Cash of $173,800, including a down payment of $61,700, was collected on these installment sales during the current year. Due to questionable collectibility, the installment sales method was considered appropriate.

Assume that Haley Corporation reported net income of $1,201,800 for 2015. Present a schedule showing the corrected net income after reviewing the above transactions. (Enter negative amounts using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -15,000 or parentheses e.g. (15,000).)
