Coffee Inc made a conceptual error in preparing the amortization schedule, which Natasha's failed to discover until 2011.

Required:
1- Determine which account are incorrect as a result of these errors at January 1,2011, before any adjustments. Explain your answer (Ignore income taxes.)
2- Prepare a Journal entry to correct the error.
3- What other step(s) would be taken in connection with the error?
Requirement 1
The error caused both 2009 net income and 2010 net income to be overstated, so retained earnings is overstated by a total of $85,000. In addition, the note payable would be understated by the same amount. Remember, the entry to record interest is:
Interest expense...................................................................................... xxx
Note payable (difference).......................................................... xxx
Cash............................................................................. xxx
So, if interest expense is understated, the reduction in the note will be too much, causing the balance in that account to be understated.
