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.

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_forwardBrooks Company reported a prior period adjustment of 512,000 in pretax financial "income" and taxable income for 2020.
