The accountant of Swift Inc. was preparing for the audit of its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and discovered that an automobile was being incorrectly depreciated. The automobile was purchased on January 1, 2021, for $50,000 and the estimated residual value after five years was expected to be $5,000.

At the end of 2020, the company failed to accrue sales salaries of $42,000. 3. A tax lawsuit that involved the year 2019 was settled late in 2021.
