    SCENARIO: AgriSteel Heavy Industries manufactures specialized farming machinery. Draft financial statements for the year ended 30 September 20X6 show a draft net profit of $1,200,000. The following adjustments are needed:

    1. Closing inventory was valued at cost $450,000, but includes damaged tractors costing $50,000 that can only be sold for $30,000 after $5,000 repair costs.
    2. A machine bought for $200,000 on 1 Oct 20X5 was incorrectly charged to repairs. Depreciation is 20% reducing balance.
    3. A provision for a legal claim of $80,000 needs to be created.
    4. The allowance for receivables needs to increase by $15,000.

    What is the initial journal entry to correct the $200,000 machine incorrectly charged to repairs (ignoring depreciation for a moment)?

    Answer options:

    A.

    Debit Repairs Expense $200,000; Credit Non-Current Assets $200,000

    B.

    Debit Non-Current Assets $200,000; Credit Repairs Expense $200,000

    C.

    Debit Non-Current Assets $200,000; Credit Cash $200,000

    D.

    Debit Suspense $200,000; Credit Repairs Expense $200,000

    How to approach this question

    Reverse the incorrect entry (credit the expense) and record the correct entry (debit the asset).

    Full Answer

    B.Debit Non-Current Assets $200,000; Credit Repairs Expense $200,000✓ Correct
    The machine was incorrectly debited to Repairs Expense. To correct this, we must credit Repairs Expense by $200,000 (which will increase profit) and debit Non-Current Assets by $200,000 to capitalize the machine.

    Common mistakes

    Debiting cash, assuming the payment wasn't recorded.
