a. A building with a 30-year life (no residual value, straight-line depreciation) was purchased on January 1, 2008 by issuing a $90,000 non-interest-bearing, four-year note. The entry made to record the purchase was a debit to Building and a credit to Notes Payable for $90,000; 12% is a fair rate of interest on the note.

b. The inventory at the end of 2008 was found to be overstated by $15,000. At the same time it was discovered that the inventory at the end of 2007 had been overstated by $35,000. The company uses the perpetual inventory system.
