Answer:

A. $816,000

B. Dr Inventory $60,000

Cr Retained earning $36,000

Cr Tax payable $24,000

Explanation:

A. Calculation to determine the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change

Using this formula

Retained earnings = Beginning retained earning balance + Adjusted net income

Let plug in the formula

Retained earnings=$780,000+ $60,000 × (1 - 40%)

Retained earnings=$780,000+($60,000×60%)

Retained earnings=$780,00+ $36,000

Retained earnings= $816,000

Therefore the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change is $816,000

2. Preparation of the journal entry at the beginning of 2009 to record the change in principle.

Dr Inventory $60,000

Cr Retained earning $36,000

[$60,000 × (1 - 40%)]

Cr Tax payable $24,000

($60,000-$36,000)

(Being to record the change in principle)
