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.)

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

$14,800

Explanation:

Rosie's has 1,300 shares outstanding at a market price of $10

Sandy's had 2,000 shares outstanding at a market price of $23

= $13,000+$1,800

=$14,800

Hence the value of Rosie's to Sandy's is $14,800

sergejj [24]

Answer:

These statements are correct:

  • It makes it easier to compare prices across Europe - the Euro is the common curriency across 19 countries, but prices in those countries are far from being the same. For example, Germany is a lot more expensive than Greece (although a lot wealthier too), and Greek people can easily find out that the same product in Germany costs more euros than in Greece.
  • It makes Europe an optimal currency area - in the Eurozone, economic efficiency is now higher because resources can be allocated across different countries thanks to the fact that prices can be compared in the region.
