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

of 2018. The inventory as reported at the end of 2017 using LIFO would have been $70,000 higher using FIFO. Retained earnings at the end of 2017 was reported as $880,000 (reflecting the LIFO method). The tax rate is 34%.
Required:
1. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2013) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.
2. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2013 to record the change in accounting principle. (If no entry is required for a particular transaction, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

1. Depreciation expense for 2019(Straight-line)= (Cost of the assets - Salvage value) / life of the assets

= ($330000 - $33000)/8

= $37,125

2. Sum-of-the-years'-digits = 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8 = 36

Depreciation Expense for 2019(Sum-of-the-years'-digits method)

= ($330000 - $33000)*8/36

= $66,000

3. Double-declining-balance depreciation rate = (100/8 years)*2 = 25%

Depreciation Expense for 2019 = 330000*25% = $82,500

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Correct answer is:

Debit Salaries Expense $840

Credit Salaries Payable $840

Explanation:

2 employees each paid at $ 210 per day so daily salary expense is $210*2 = $420.

The accounting period ends on Tuesday and both employees work for Monday and Tuesday so the 2 days salaries expense is $420*2= $840.

As the salaries are paid on every Friday so there is a liability on a company for the 2 days salary payable to be recorded on accounting period close date i.e Tuesday.
