Chapter 20, Problem 20.1P
Change in inventory costing methods; comparative income statements
• LO20–2
The Cecil-Booker Vending Company changed its method of valuing inventory from the average cost method to the FIFO cost method at the beginning of 2018. At December 31, 2017, inventories were $120,000 (average cost basis) and were $124,000 a year earlier. Cecil-Booker’s accountants determined that the inventories would have totaled $155,000 at December 31, 2017, and $160,000 at December 31, 2016, if determined on a FIFO basis. A tax rate of 40% is in effect for all years.
One hundred thousand common shares were outstanding each year. Income from continuing operations was $400,000 in 2017 and $525,000 in 2018. There were no discontinued operations either year.
Required:
- 1. Prepare the
journal entry to record the change in accounting principle. (All tax effects should be reflected in thedeferred tax liability account.) - 2. Prepare the 2018–2017 comparative income statements beginning with income from continuing operations. Include per share amounts.
