HIJ, Inc. presents the preliminary trial balance at 12/31/16 and the related information set out below. Entries for the related information have not been recorded, but routine transactions for operation of the company during the year have been recorded. Accordingly, you have an unadjusted trial balance at 12/31/16 . The trial balance for 12/31/15, also called the prior year trial balance, is a post-closing trial balance. The following information, for which no adjustment has been made, is available:

The unadjusted 2016 trial balance is in an Excel file, together with the prior year trial balance.

On June 30, 2016, HIJ, Inc. sold plant equipment (asset D) for $65,000. The equipment was purchased January 1, 2013 for 81,000. HIJ, Inc. used the 150% declining balance method for this asset, over an estimated useful life of 7 years, with salvage value set at $10,000. Payment received included $8,000 cash and the buyer's note for the balance. The note requires equal annual principal payments over 5 years from date, together with interest at 8%. Additionally, depreciation expense for 2016 of $90,000, related to other depreciable assets of $896,000 is appropriate and has not been recorded.

HIJ, Inc.'s book tax rates are 15% on the first $50,000 of income and 35% on the excess over $50,000.

Early in January, this year, an unusual event occurred when a big wind caused a boom to collapse, destroying $261,000 of outdoor rigging and electronic gear (asset E) that had just been installed. While this kind of accident has occurred before, it has not happened often. The boom was part of a new business venture the company began early last year. The destroyed boom can be sold for scrap in the open market at 15% of cost. The equipment related to the outdoor rigging venture, bought early last year (depreciation: straight line, no salvage, 5 year life) can be sold on the used equipment market for book value. Management is disheartened, and is abandoning this component of the business. Had the venture continued, it would have had separate cash flows and operations. The company estimates that 50% of the overall SG&A for the January was directly related to the outdoor rigging and that the SG&A costs for the year are incurred at a smooth rate all year long.
