Answer:

Entry to record adjustment:

COGS Dr $9.4m

         Inventory Cr $9.4m

Explanation:

The question relates to a change in accounting policy. According to IAS 8 (changes in accounting policy and estimate), a change in accounting policy is to be reflected retrospectively and prospectively, which means any changes should be implemented by bringing changes in the past records. Since CPS company has been using FIFO method, the inventory has been overstated in the financial statements. A shift to AVCO has resulted in a decrease in inventory value.

The value of inventory has to be reduced as a result of change in accounting policy (i.e $38m - $28.6m). This is the closing inventory so a reduction in the value of closing inventory results in an increase in cost of goods sold (COGS), therefore, the adjusting entry will be aimed at reducing inventory and increasing cost of goods sold, see as follows:

Entry:

COGS Dr $9.4m

         Inventory Cr $9.4m

<span>The sum of all the federal deficits over time is known as the "national debt".
</span>
National debt refers to the total of all exceptional debt owed by the government. It incorporates the cash the legislature has obtained, as well as the interest it must pay on the acquired cash. The administration strays into the debt when it doesn't gather enough income to cover the costs it brings about from spending on projects, for example, the military, or building streets and extensions. The incomes originate from corporate and salary charges, and the expenses the legislature forces, for example, for visas and travel permits, student loans, and admission to national parks.

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

C. Anchoring

Explanation:

The first price to be mentioned will have an effect on the perception of all future prices. If we start with $200, then $100 will seem cheap, but £1000 seem expensive. But if we start with $10, then $100 will seem expensive.

The anchor for a price perception may be found in the first price mentioned. It can also arrive in the mind of the purchaser, where the anchor may have been set by previous experience.
