As part of the change, treasury shares held were reclassified as retired stock. At December 31, 2015, UMC's balance sheet reported the following shareholders' equity:
($ in millions)
Common stock, $1 par $225
Paid-in capital - excess of par 900
Retained earnings 1,020
Treasury stock (6 million shares at cost) (35)
Total shareholders' equity $2,110
Required:
a. Identify the type of accounting change this decision represents.
1. This is a change in accounting estimate
2. change in accounting method
3. change in reporting entry
4. change in accounting principle .
