Hunter, Inc. found several errors in its accounting records when it went through a recent financial
review. Hunter began business in January 2021. Currently, the general ledger for 2023 is open but 2021
and 2022 are closed. Since none of these errors were discovered until 2023, no corrections have been
posted.
a) At the end of 2022, Hunter missed inventory of 13,200 in its physical count.
b) Hunter borrowed $500,000 on a line of credit on September 1,2022. No payments were made
in 2022 but the interest rate was 6%. In 2023, a payment of $50,000 was made on September 1,
2023 and recorded entirely as a payment of principal (debit loan payable). No interest was
recorded in either 2022 or yet in 2023.
c) The purchase of machinery for $37,800 in May, 2021 was recorded properly but depreciation
has not been recorded since the purchase.
d) In October, 2022, a truck was purchased for $15,300 and recorded as transportation expense.
e) Hunter purchased property at the start of business (cost 1,100,000 including land) has been
depreciated (except for $300,000 land cost) using a useful life of 40 years since the start of
business (straight-line). In the middle of 2023, Hunter decides the useful life of the building is
only going to be a total of 30 years.
Assume straight-line depreciation, half year convention, no salvage and 5 years for vehicles and 7 years
for machinery.
Required:
1. For each item, describe what is needed for disclosure purposes if Hunter reports 2021,2022
and 2023 in its annual report.
2. For each item give the journal entries (if any) that are necessary in the general ledger for 2023.
