The unexpired portions of the insurance policies totaled $65,000 as of December 31, 2010.

$24,000 was received on January 1, 2010 for the rent of a building for both 2010 and 2011. The entire amount was credited to rental income.

Depreciation for the year was erroneously recorded as $5,000 rather than the correct figure of $50,000.

A further review of depreciation calculations of prior years revealed that depreciation of $7,200 was not recorded. It was decided that this oversight should be corrected by a prior period adjustment.
