IOP Company purchased a machine on 1/1/22 costing $500. Estimated life was 5 years; estimated salvage value was $100. In 2025, IOP discovered that the bookkeeper correctly used straight-line depreciation, but erroneously used an estimated life of 8 years in computing depreciation for the first 3 years of life. The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will be:

The Prior Period Adjustment to be recorded in 2025 will include a $90 debit as adjustment to Retained Earnings

Explanation:

Correct depreciation would have been = ($500-$100)/5 = $80

Depreciation charged wrongly as ($500-$400)/8 = $50

Therefore depreciation has been charged short by $30 for three years, thereby reflecting income greater by $30 each year for 3 years.

Since due to wrong depreciation retained earnings is higher by $90, therefore we have to debit retained earnings by $90

anyone below or above ambitious can tell you. so crowns mean brainliest. getting brainliest means your answer needs a good explanation and the person asking the question can understand your answer easily. so say there's a multiple choice question. you don't just want to say your answer is a, hope it . provide evidence and reasoning so that they know that that is the correct answer. a good explanation should have evidence, good reasoning, and your opinion on why you picked that. you don't want to look up their question on the internet and see if you can answer it. pick questions that you 100% know the answer to, so than that way you can provide a better explanation.
