$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{|l}\hline\\\\\\\hline\text {a.}\\\hline\text {b.}\\\hline\text {c.}\\\hline\end{array}\begin{array}{|l}\hline \text {Type of }\\ \text {accounting}\\ \text { change}\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\end{array}\begin{array}{|l|}\hline\\\\\text { Treatment }\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\end{array}\begin{array}{l|}\hline\\\text {Asset or}\\\text {liability}\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\end{array}\begin{array}{l|}\hline\\\\\text { Equity }\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\end{array}\begin{array}{l|}\hline\\\\\text { Income}\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\end{array}\begin{array}{l|}\hline\\\text {Asset or}\\\text {liability}\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline \end{array}\begin{array}{l|}\hline\\\\\text { Equity }\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\end{array}\begin{array}{l|}\hline\\\\\text { Income}\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline\\\hline \end{array}\end{array}$

a.Company A increases the allowance for doubtful accounts (ADA).Using the old estimate,ADA would have been $45,000.The new estimate is $50,000.
b.Company B omitted to record an invoice for a $10,000 sale made on credit at the end of the previous year and incorrectly recorded the sale in the current year.The related inventory sold has been accounted for.
c.Company C changes its revenue recognition to a more conservative policy.The result is a decrease in prior-year revenue by $4,000 and a decrease in current-year revenue by $5,000 relative to the amounts under the old policy.
