2FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
Question 1:
Situation 1:
This is an accounting estimate change, which needs to be recognized in income statement
from the date of change, which would have impact on the future financials and 2017-2018
financials, as per “AASB 108, Para 36” (Aasb.gov.au, 2019). The adjusting journal entry would
be to debit warranty expense by $15,400 and credit provision for $15,400 in order to record
warranty expense.
Situation 2:
This situation denotes events after reporting date, which is related to adjusting event, as
per AASB 110 and thus, recording needs to be made (Aasb.gov.au, 2019). The impact would be
on the 2017-2018 financials where doubtful debt expense would be debited by $380,000 and the
same amount would be credited to provision for doubtful debt to record doubtful debt allowance.
Situation 3:
This situation denotes events after reporting date, which is related to non-adjusting event
and hence, no adjusting is needed, as per AASB 110 (Aasb.gov.au, 2019). However, there should
be a note disclosure stating the effect of the tax rate change on current tax amount.
Situation 4:

3FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING
This situation denotes error discovery of the prior period and “AASB 108, Para 42”
requires to correct material errors of the prior period in the first set of financial statements. The
impact would be on the financial statements of the years 2016, 2017 and 2018. There would be
two adjusting journal entries. Retained earnings and accumulated depreciation have to be debited
by $21,000 and $1,000 respectively, while asset account would be credited by $22,000 to correct
the error of the prior period. Secondly, debit would be made to income tax receivable by $6,300
and retained earnings would be credited by $6,300 for recording tax reversal.
