In 2021, management discovered that Dietlikon Production had debited expense for the full cost of an asset purchased on January 1, 2018, at a cost of $36 million with no expected residual value. Its useful life was 5 years. Dietlikon uses straight-line depreciation. The correcting entry, assuming the error was discovered in 2021 before preparation of the adjusting and closing entries, includes (ignore taxes):
a. A debit to accumulated depreciation of $14.4 million.
b. A credit to accumulated depreciation of $21.6 million.
c. A credit to an asset of $36 million.
d. A debit to retained earnings of $14.4 million.

The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Under straight-line method, depreciation expense is (cost - residual value) / No of years = ($36,000,000 - $0) / 5 years = $7,200,000 yearly depreciation expense.

Accumulated depreciation expense by straight-line in 2021 will be (3 years):  $7,200,000 x 3 years = $21,600,000.

The correcting journal entries will be:

Debit Fixed asset cost $36,000,000

Credit Operating expense $36,000,000

(Reversal of wrong posting)

Debit Depreciation expense $21,600,000

Credit Accumulated depreciation $21,600,000

(Being depreciation charge for 3 years)

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
