Answer:Yes
Explanation:
Pooled data occur when there is a time series of different cross sections with each observations not necessarily from the same unit while Panel data is sample from the same units. The main difference between them is the "units". The units can be countries, households, schools or other things we are collating data on.
In pooled cross section, random samples from different time periods and from different units are taken e.g. we can take data on number of females and males in schools A, B and C in 2020 and schools X, Y and Z in 2023.
In pure panel data, we are using the same units e.g we can take data on genders in schools A, B and C in 2020 and collect data from the same schools in 2023. Therefore the main difference is just the units we observe.
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
