a.Company A increases the allowance for doubtful accounts (ADA).Using the old estimate,ADA would have been $45,000.The new estimate is $50,000.
b.Company B omitted to record an invoice for a $10,000 sale made on credit at the end of the previous year and incorrectly recorded the sale in the current year.The related inventory sold has been accounted for.
c.Company C changes its revenue recognition to a more conservative policy.The result is a decrease in prior-year revenue by $4,000 and a decrease in current-year revenue by $5,000 relative to the amounts under the old policy.
