Vandross Company has recorded bad debt expense in the past at a rate of 1½% of accounts receivable, based on an aging analysis. In 2017, Vandross decided to increase its estimate to 2%. If the new rate had been used in prior years, cumulative bad debt expense would have been \(380,000 instead of \)285,000. In 2017, bad debt expense will be \(120,000 instead of \)90,000. If Vandross’s tax rate is 30%, what amount should it report as the cumulative effect of changing the estimated bad debt rate?

Accounting

Prepare

(a) a single-step income statement for 2017,

(b) a retained earnings statement for 2017, and

(c) a statement of comprehensive income using the two statement format. Shares outstanding during 2017 were 100,000.

Analysis

Explain how a multiple-step income statement format can provide useful information to a financial statement user.

Principles

In a recent meeting with its auditor, Counting Crows’ management argued that the company should be able to prepare a pro forma income statement with some one-time administrative expenses reported similar to discontinued operations. Is such reporting consistent with the qualitative characteristics of accounting information as discussed in the conceptual framework? Explain.

Wade Corp. has 150,000 shares of common stock outstanding. In 2017, the company reports income from continuing operations before income tax of \(1,210,000. Additional transactions not considered in the \)1,210,000 are as follows.

1. In 2017, Wade Corp. sold equipment for \(40,000. The machine had originally cost \)80,000 and had accumulated depreciation of \(30,000. The gain or loss is considered non-recurring.

2. The company discontinued operations of one of its subsidiaries during the current year at a loss of \)190,000 before taxes. Assume that this transaction meets the criteria for discontinued operations. The loss from operations of the discontinued subsidiary was \(90,000 before taxes; the loss from disposal of the subsidiary was \)100,000 before taxes.

3. An internal audit discovered that amortization of intangible assets was understated by \(35,000 (net of tax) in a prior period. The amount was charged against retained earnings.

4. The company recorded a non-recurring gain of \)125,000 on the condemnation of some of its property (included in the $1,210,000).

Instructions

Analyze the above information and prepare an income statement for the year 2017, starting with income from continuing operations before income tax. Compute earnings per share as it should be shown on the face of the income statement. (Assume a total effective tax rate of 38% on all items, unless otherwise indicated.)
