Grouper Corporation has used the accrual basis of accounting for several years. A review of the records, however, Indicates that some expenses and revenues have been handled on a cash basis because of errors made by an inexperienced bookkeeper. Income statements prepared by the bookkeeper reported $30,800 net income for 2024 and $34,100 net income for 2025. Further examination of the records reveals that the following items were handled improperly.
1. Rent was received from a tenant in December 2024. The amount, $980, was recorded as revenue at that time even though the rental pertained to 2025.
2. Salaries and wages payable on December 31 have been consistently omitted from the records of that date and have been entered as expenses when paid in the following year. The amounts of the accruals recorded in this manner were:
December 31, 2023
$1,160
December 31, 2024
1,300
December 31, 2025
890
3. Invoices for supplies purchased have been charged to expense accounts when received. Inventories of supplies on hand at the end of each year have been ignored, and no entry has been made for them.
December 31, 2023
$1,240
December 31, 2024
860
December 31, 2025
1,470
Prepare a schedule that will show the corrected net income for the years 2024 and 2025. All Items listed should be labeled clearly. (Ignore income tax considerations.) (Enter negative amounts using elther a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -15,000 or parentheses eg. (15,000))
