Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning

of 2021. The inventory as reported at the end of 2020 using LIFO would have been $68,000 higher using FIFO. Retained earnings at the end of 2020 was reported as $860,000 (reflecting the LIFO method). The tax rate is 35%. Required: 1. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years. 2. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2021 to record the change in accounting principle.

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

1. The adjusted balance in the retained earning is shown below:

= beginning balance of retained earning + adjusted net income

where,

beginning balance of retained earning is $860,000

And, the adjusted net income is

= $68,000 × (1 - 0.35)

= $44,200

So, the adjusted balance in the retained earning is

= $860,000 + $44,200

= $904,200

2. Now the journal entry is

Inventory $68,000

      To Retained earning $44,200

      To Tax payable $23,800   ($68,000  × 35%)

(Being the adjustment of ending inventory is recorded)

It increased the inventory and along with it it also increased the equity and liabilities so the respective account is debited and credited

Liula [17]

Answer:

The key economic idea being exemplified is c) People are rational

Explanation:

The economists’ assumption is that firms and consumers utilize all available information to attain their goals and weigh all costs and benefits of each action taken. Moreover, firms and consumers only choose an action if the benefits exceeds the costs.  Therefore, the action of manufacturing firms to move their operations from overseas back to the US due to the increased preference for US manufactured goods exemplifies that consumers and firms rely on all available information when pursuing their goals.

On July 8, a fire destroyed the entire merchandise inventory on hand of Larrenaga Wholesale Corporation. The following informati
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The answer is $243,000

Explanation:

The inventory on July 8 immediately prior to the fire is the CLOSING INVENTORY.

To find this closing inventory, we need to find the gross profit first and then cost of sales.

To find gross profit:

Gross profit margin=gross profit ÷sales.

Gross profit margin is 20% or 0.2

Sales is $690,000

Therefore, gross profit is:

0.2 x $690,000

=$138,000

To find cost of sales:

Gross profit = sales - cost of sales.

Gross profit is $138,000

Sales is $690,000

Therefore, cost of sales is

$690,000 - $138,000

=$552,000.

And finally to get closing inventory:

Cost of sales = opening inventory + purchases - closing inventory.

Cost of sales = $552,000

Opening inventory = $140,000

Purchases = $655,000

Closing inventory = $140,000+$655,000-$552,000

=$243,000.
