Table (1)
Description:
- Retained Earnings is an equity account. Earnings decreased due to decrease in pretax income due to change from successful-efforts method to full-cost method, and a decrease in equity is debited.
- Deferred Tax Liability is a liability account. The obligation to pay taxes has decreased on saved income taxes. The liability decreased and a decrease in liability is debited.
- Oil and Gas Properties is an asset account. Since the cumulative difference has decreased due to change from full-cost method to successful-efforts method, oil and gas properties has decreased, and a decrease in asset is credited.
