List of AccountsYou have been engaged to review the financial statements of Vaughn Corporation. In the course of your examination, you conclude that the bookkeeper hired during the

current year is not doing a good job. You notice a number of irregularities as follows.

Year$-$end wages payable as of the end of the current year of $$3,640$ were not recorded because the bookkeeper thought that "they were immaterial."

Accrued vacation pay for the current year of $$28,500$ was not recorded because the bookkeeper "never heard that you had to do it$."$

Insurance for a $12-$month period purchased on November $1$ of this year was charged to insurance expense in the amount of $$2,412$ because "the amount of the

check is about the same every year."

Reported sales revenue for the year is $$2,181,480.$ This includes all sales taxes collected for the year. The sales tax rate is $6\%.$ Because the sales tax is

forwarded to the state's Department of Revenue, the Sales Tax Expense account is debited. The bookkeeper thought that "the sales tax is a selling expense." At

the end of the current year, the balance in the Sales Tax Expense account is $$106,580.$

Prepare the necessary correcting entries during the current year, assuming that Vaughn uses a calendar$-$year basis. $($Credit account titles are automatically indented when

the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select $"$No Entry" for the account titles and enter $0$ for the amounts. List all debit entries before credit entries.$)$
