(Record the cumulative effect of pretax income due to change from FIFO to average cost) |
Table (1)
Description:
- Retained Earnings is an equity account. Earnings decreased due to decrease in pretax income due to decrease in cumulative difference out of the change from FIFO to average cost, 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, due to decrease in cumulative difference. The liability has decreased and a decrease in liability is debited.
- Inventory is an asset account. Since the cumulative difference has decreased due to change from FIFO to average cost flow, inventory has decreased, and a decrease in asset is credited.
Working Notes:
Compute the deferred tax liability amount.
Compute retained earnings amount.

Intermediate Accounting: Reporting and Analysis
- 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.arrow_forwardSchmidt Company began operations on January 1, 2018, and used the LIFO inventory method for both financial reporting and income taxes. 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.

- LIFO and Inventory Pools On January 1, 2016, Grover Company changed its inventory cost flow method to the LIFO cost method from the FIFO cost method for its raw materials inventory. It made the change for both financial statement and income tax reporting purposes. Grover uses the multiple-pools approach under which it groups substantially identical raw materials into LIFO inventory pools. It uses weighted average costs in valuing annual incremental layers. The composition of the December 31, 2018, inventory for the Class F inventory pool is as follows: Inventory transactions for the Class F inventory pool during 2019 were as follows: On March 2, 2019, 4,800 units were purchased at a unit cost of 13.50 for 64,800. On September 1, 2019, 7,200 units were purchased at a unit cost of 14.00 for 100,800. A total of 15,000 units were used for production during 2019. The following transactions for the Class F inventory pool took place during 2020: On January 11, 2020, 7,500 units were purchased at a unit cost of 14.50 for 108,750.
