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

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

5,409 books

Explanation:

to calculate break even point in units we can use the following formula:

break even point in units = total fixed costs / contribution margin per unit

  • total fixed costs = $53,000
  • contribution margin per unit = sales price - variable costs = $12 - $2.20 = $9.80

break even point in units = $53,000 / $9,80 = 5,408.16 ≈ 5,409 books

in $, that would equal = 5,409 books x $12 per book = $64,908
