Answer:

The wholesale cost for the pianos that Darnell pays the manufacturer - explicit cost  

The salary Darnell could earn if he worked as an accountant - implicit cost

The wages and utility bills that Darnell pays - explicit cost  

The rental income Darnell could receive if he chose to rent out his showroom.-implicit cost

Explanation:

Explicit cost includes the amount expended in running the business.

They include rent , salary and cost of raw materials

Explicit cost is used in determining accounting profit

Implicit cost or opportunity cost is the cost of the next best option forgone when one alternative is chosen over other alternatives

Implicit cost is used in determining economic profit

If Darnell didn't use his showroom, he could have rented it out. Renting it out is his next best option that was forgone. Thus, it is an implicit cost

If Darnell didn't start his business, he could have been working as an accountant. The amount he could have earned as an accountant is his implicit cost

Aquatic Equipment Corporation decided to switch from the LIFO method of costing inventories to the FIFO method at the beginning
spayn [35]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below

1. The adjusted balance in the retained earning is shown below:

= beginning balance of retained earning + adjusted net income

where,

beginning balance of retained earning is $860,000

And, the adjusted net income is

= $68,000 × (1 - 0.35)

= $44,200

So, the adjusted balance in the retained earning is

= $860,000 + $44,200

= $904,200

2. Now the journal entry is

Inventory $68,000

      To Retained earning $44,200

      To Tax payable $23,800   ($68,000  × 35%)

(Being the adjustment of ending inventory is recorded)

It increased the inventory and along with it it also increased the equity and liabilities so the respective account is debited and credited
