- The depreciation expense is considered as an expense account thus, the increase in depreciation expense should be debited.
- Goodwill was impaired and should be reduced to $14,000.
- M Co. reported an account payable of $9,000 to G Co. thus, it would affect both accounts payable and accounts receivable. To eliminate this inter-company transaction, entry should be reversed.
