Transcribed Image Text:How much is the net adjustment
to the "Investment in branch"
account? increase (decrease)
ABASE HUMILIATE Co. is currently preparing its combined financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 20x1. As of this date, the "Investment in branch" account has a balance of
P380,000 while the "Home office" account has a balance of P528,000. The following information has
been gathered:
(a) The home office allocated unpaid utilities expenses amounting to P40,000 to the branch which the
branch did not record in full. Instead, the branch sent a wrong adjusting memo to the home office
reducing the charge by P10,000 and setting up a liability for the remaining amount.
(b) The home office erroneously credited the branch for a return of shipment of merchandise worth
P100,000. The branch did not make any return of merchandise.
(c) The branch mistakenly received a copy of the home office correcting entry for item (b) above dated
January 3, 20x2 and entered a credit in favor of the home office on December 31, 20x1.
(d) The branch mistakenly sent the home office a debit memo amounting to P12,000 for an apparent
remittance of collections which did not happen. The home office did not record the debit memo.
