Note 1. The reserve for contingencies has been created by charges to earned surplus and has been established to
provide a cushion for future uncertainties.
Note 2. The inventory account includes only items physically present at the main plant and warehouse. Items located at
the company's branch sales office amounting to P40,000 are excluded since the company has consistently
followed this procedure for many years.
Solution:
1. The heading should be as of a specific date rather than for a period of time.
2. Reserve for Depreciation is poor terminology; the title Accumulated Depreciation is more appropriate.
3. Land and buildings should be segregated into two accounts. The Accumulated Depreciation account should only be
reported for the buildings.
4. Plant site held for future use should be shown in the Investments section.
5. Current assets should be shown on the balance sheet first in most situations; current assets are listed usually in
order of liquidity; factory supplies should be shown as a current asset.
6. Treasury stock is not an asset, but a contra account to stockholders' equity in most situations.
7. Notes receivable should be reported as a current asset or an investment.
8. The deferred charge items should be reclassified as follows in most situations:
Advances to salespersons—current asset
Prepaid rent—current asset
Returnable containers—current asset
9. Allowance for doubtful accounts should be shown as a contra account to accounts receivable.
10. Common stock dividend distributable should be shown in stockholders' equity.
11. 5% debenture bonds should be shown on a separate line.
12. Reserve for Contingencies should be shown as an appropriation of retained earnings. The authors prefer the term
"appropriation" to the term "reserve."
13. Capital stock should be shown at the par value of the shares issued, P120,000. Any excess should be included in a
paid-in capital account.
14. Capital surplus and earned surplus are poor terminology. The terms "additional paid-in capital" and "retained
earnings" are more appropriate.
15. The dividends paid title is a misnomer. It probably is a dividends declared item that should be closed to retained
earnings.
16. No reference in the body of the statement is made to the notes. The order of the notes is wrong.
17. Note 2 indicates that the inventory account is understated by P40,000.
18. Specific identification and description of all significant accounting principles and methods that involve selection from
among alternatives and/or those that are peculiar to a given industry should be disclosed in the annual report.
