If total debits do not equal total credits, it indicates that there is an error in the accounts that needs to be investigated.

Annual Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life = ($200,000 - $20,000) / 20 = $9,000.

Under LIFO, the cost of goods sold for the last 150 units sold is (100 units at $15) + (50 units at $12) = $1,500 + $600 = $2,100.

Switching to the declining balance method typically results in higher depreciation expenses in the early years, leading to decreased net income.

Under FIFO, older, cheaper costs are used for cost of goods sold, leading to a lower cost of goods sold when prices are rising.

Using FIFO during periods of inflation results in higher inventory values on the balance sheet because older, cheaper costs are recorded.

FIFO results in a higher ending inventory value during inflation as the most recent costs are not included in COGS.

Under FIFO, in times of rising prices, the ending inventory will be higher and the cost of goods sold will be lower.

Under FIFO during inflation, older, cheaper inventory costs remain on the balance sheet, leading to an overstatement of assets.

Using FIFO during inflation can lead to an overstatement of assets on the balance sheet because older, cheaper inventory costs are recorded.

LIFO results in lower profits during inflation, leading to lower taxes.

If a company uses LIFO for tax purposes, it must also use LIFO for financial reporting due to the consistency principle.

Ending inventory valuation increases under LIFO during a period of deflation as older, cheaper costs remain in inventory.

Depreciation expense = Cost x Depreciation Rate = $5,000 x 30% = $1,500.

The sum-of-the-years'-digits method calculates depreciation based on the total number of years of useful life.

The units of production method bases depreciation on the actual usage or production output of the asset.

In the units of production method, the depreciation expense is based on the actual number of units produced, making it variable.

The closing balance of the capital account is calculated as net profit minus drawings: $50,000 - $10,000 = $40,000.

The discrepancy is $2,000, calculated as total debits ($50,000) minus total credits ($48,000).

Owner's equity is calculated as Total Assets minus Total Liabilities, which is $50,000 - $30,000 = $20,000.

Annual depreciation using the straight-line method is calculated as Cost divided by Useful Life, which is $5,000 / 5 = $1,000.

Closing capital is calculated as net profit plus opening capital minus drawings. Assuming opening capital is $10,000, it would be $20,000 + $10,000 - $5,000 = $25,000.

Annual depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life = ($10,000 - $1,000) / 5 = $2,000.

The annual depreciation expense using the Straight-Line Method is calculated as (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life = ($10,000 - $1,000) / 5 = $1,800.

Annual depreciation is calculated as (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life = ($10,000 - $1,000) / 5 = $2,000.

Annual Depreciation = (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life = ($50,000 - $5,000) / 10 = $4,500.

The annual depreciation is calculated as (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life = ($10,000 - $0) / 5 = $2,000.

When an asset is sold before the end of its useful life, the Book Value must be calculated to determine any gain or loss on the sale.

If an asset is sold for more than its book value, a gain is recorded in the financial statements.

The first step to correct an error in the trial balance is to identify the source of the error before making any adjustments.
