Heller Company began operations in 2019 and used the LIFO method to compute its 300,000 cost of goods sold for that year. At the beginning of 2020, Heller changed to the FIFO method. Heller determined that its cost of goods sold under FIFO would have been 250,000 in 2019. For 2020, Hellers cost of goods sold under FIFO was 360,000, while it would have been 410,000 under LIFO. Heller is subject to a 21% income tax rate. Compute the cumulative effect of the retrospective adjustment on prior years income (net of taxes) that Heller would report on its retained earnings statement for 2020.
Fava Company began operations in 2018 and used the LIFO inventory method for both financial reporting and income taxes. At the beginning of 2019, the anticipated cost trends in the industry had changed, so that it adopted the FIFO method for both financial reporting and income taxes. Fava reported revenues of 300,000 and 270,000 in 2019 and 2018, respectively. Fava reported expenses (excluding income tax expense) of 125,000 and 120,000 in 2019 and 2018, which included cost of goods sold of 55,000 and 45,000, respectively. An analysis indicates that the FIFO cost of goods sold would have been lower by 8,000 in 2018. The tax rate is 21%. Fava has a simple capital structure with 15,000 shares of common stock outstanding during 2018 and 2019. It paid no dividends in either year. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry to reflect the change. 2. At the end of 2019, prepare the comparative income statements for 2019 and 2018. Notes to the financial statements are not necessary. 3. At the end of 2019, prepare the comparative retained earnings statements for 2019 and 2018.
In 2020, Frost Company, which began operations in 2018, decided to change from LIFO to FIFO because management believed that FIFO belter represented the flow of their inventory. Management prepared the following analysis showing the effect of this change: Frost reported net income of 2,500,000, 2,400,000, and 2,100,000 in 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively. The tax rate is 21%. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry necessary to record the change. 2. What amount of net income would Frost report in 2018, 2019, and 2020? 3. If Frosts employees received a bonus of 10% of income before deducting the bonus and income taxes in 2018 and 2019, what would be the effect on net income for 2018, 2019, and 2020?
Refer to RE22-2. Assume the pretax cumulative effect adjustment is 50,000. Prepare the journal entry that Heller Company would make at the beginning of 2020 to record the cumulative effect of the change from LIFO to FIFO. RE22-2 Heller Company began operations in 2019 and used the LIFO method to compute its 300,000 cost of goods sold for that year. At the beginning of 2020, Heller changed to the FIFO method.

Berg Company began operations on January 1, 2019, and uses the FIFO method in costing its raw materials inventory. During 2020, management is contemplating a change to the LIFO method and is interested in determining what effect such a change will have on net income. Accordingly, the following information has been developed: Required: What is the effect on income before income taxes in 2020 of a change to the LIFO method?
