Answer:
a. 12% per year
Explanation:
Effective interest rate
r = (1 + i/n)^n - 1
r = effective interest rate
i = simple interest rate compounded monthly
n = number of compound intervals
12.68% = ((1+i/12)^12)-1)
1+0.1268 = ((1+i/12)^12)
1.1268^(1/12) =1+i/12
1.010 = 1+i/12
1.010-1 = i/12
0.010 x 12 = i
i = 0.12 = 12%
Answer:
An adjustment to retained earnings is necessary when when there is a change from LIFO to FIFO.
Calculating the effect on retained earnings:
- In the year 1 company followed LIFO and recorded ending inventory at $177500. Had it followed FIFO it would have recorded at $195000. So there would be increase in income of $17500 (195000 - 177500).
- In year 2 it followed LIFO and recorded opening inventory at $177500 and closing inventory at $355000 and thereby recording Net closing stock of $177500 (355000 - 177500). Had it followed FIFO it would have recorded a net stock of $195000.(390000-195000). So there would be increase in income by of $17500 (195000 - 177500).
So in total of 2 years there would be an increase of $35000 Net income i.e., Retained earnings and increase in stock value of $35000.
The journal entry is:
Inventory A/c Dr $35,000
To Retained earnings A/c $35,000
