Table (1)
Description:
- Inventory is an asset account. Since the cumulative difference has increased due to change from LIFO to FIFO inventory has increased, the asset account increased, and an increase in asset is debited.
- Deferred Tax Liability is a liability account. The obligation to pay taxes has increased on saved income taxes, due to increase in cumulative difference. The liability increased and an increase in liability is credited.
- Retained Earnings is an equity account. Since earnings increased due to increase in pretax income due to increase in cumulative difference out of the change from LIFO to FIFO, and an increase in equity is credited.
Working Notes:
Compute the deferred tax liability amount.
Compute retained earnings amount.

- 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?arrow_forwardFava 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.arrow_forwardBrooks Company reported a prior period adjustment of 512,000 in pretax financial "income" and taxable income for 2020. The prior period adjustment was the result of an error in calculating bad debt expense for 2019. The current tax rate is 30%, and no change in the tax rate has been enacted for future years. When the company applies intraperiod income tax allocation, the prior period adjustment will be shown on the: a. income statement at 12,000 b. income statement at 8,400 (net of 3,600 income taxes) c. retained earnings statement at 12,000 d. retained earnings statement at 8,400 (net of 3,600 income taxes)arrow_forward
- Bloom Company had beginning unadjusted retained earnings of 400,000 in the current year. At the beginning of the current year, Bloom changed its inventory method from LIFO to FIFO, and the cumulative effect (net of taxes) of this change was 28,000. In addition, Bloom earned net income of 150,000 and paid dividends of 30,000 in the current year. Prepare Blooms retained earnings statement for the current year.arrow_forwardHeller 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.

However, at the beginning of 2020, Schmidt decided to switch to the average cost inventory method for financial and income tax reporting. It had previously reported the following financial statement information for 2019: An analysis of the accounting records discloses the following cost of goods sold under the LIFO and average cost inventory methods: There are no indirect effects of the change in inventory method. Revenues for 2020 total 130,000; operating expenses for 2020 total 30,000. Schmidt is subject to a 21% income tax rate in all years; it pays all income taxes payable in the next quarter. Assume that any deferred tax liability was paid in the subsequent year. Schmidt had 10,000 shares of common stock outstanding during all years; it paid dividends of 1 per share in 2020. At the end of 2020, Schmidt had cash of 15,600, inventory of 34,000, other assets of 76,000, income taxes payable of 4,200, and accounts payable of 3,000.
