Metagross Industries Ltd. reports the following transactions and events for fiscal 2020 and 2021. a. The allowance for doubtful accounts (ADA) was increased in 2020 due to deteriorating economic conditions. Using the old estimate, ADA would have been $171,000. The new estimate is $184,000. b. On December 31, 2020, there was a significant decrease in the market price of some inventory due to new technology. The market price is $15,000 lower than the carrying values used in fiscal 2020 statements. This was discovered after the company's year-end but before the completion of the audit and issuance of the financial statements. c. In January 2020, the accountant recorded $17,000 for sales made on credit on December 28, 2019. Cash was collected from these customers in 2020. This was discovered in 2021. d.

A new consumer protection law comes into effect in June 2021, giving buyers a guarantee against defects for 180 days after purchase and the ability to return defective products to the retailer.
