Presented below are income statements prepared on a LIFO and FIFO basis for Sunland Company, which started operations on January

1, 2019. The company presently uses the LIFO method of pricing its inventory and has decided to switch to the FIFO method in 2020. The FIFO income statement is computed in accordance with the requirements of GAAP. Sunland’s profit-sharing agreement with its employees indicates that the company will pay employees 10% of income before profit-sharing. Income taxes are ignored.

Solution :

A.                                              Kenseth Company

                                   Income Statement (for the year ended)

                                                      2017        2016

Sales                                             3000        3000

Cost of goods sold                      1100           940

Operating expenses                    1000          1000

Income before profit sharing      9000         1060

Profit sharing expense                 96              100          

Net Income                                 $ 804          $ 960

The company must report $\$ \ 100$ as profit sharing expense in 2016, even though, profit sharing of expense may be $\$ \ 106$ if FIFO had been used in the year 2016.

B. The profit sharing of expense reflects the indirect effect of the change in an accounting principle. Under the SFAS No. 154, the indirect effects from period before the change are recorded in the year of the change.

In this case, profit sharing expense recorded in the year 2007 is composed of :

$ 900 x 10%     =   $ 90 (year 2017 under the FIFO)

$ 60 x 10%   = $ 6 (difference in the profit sharing for the year 2016)

       Net        = $ 96 (profit sharing expense for the FIFO in year 2017)

C.                              Retaining earnings statement of 2017

   Retained earning, Jan 1 as reported                                 $ 8000

   Cumulative effect of the change to $FIFO$ ($960 - $900)    $ 60

  Retained earnings , Jan 1, as adjusted                               $ 8060

  Add $:$ Net income                                                                   $\$ \ 804$

 Deduct $:$  Dividends                                                                   $ 500

 Retained earnings, Dec 31                                                       $ 8364

Power deriving from one's personal attraction is called ______ power.
Oksanka [162]

The correct answer to the question is (B) referent power.  

Referent power refers to <u>a type of power that a person attains through his or her interpersonal relationship skills</u>.

Though personalized power seems like an answer it is actually not, it is a type of motive that a person has for power. Legitimate, reward, and coercive all stem from external sources, and thus they do not fit the description in the question.

hoa [83]

Answer:

$85,000

Explanation:

Calculation for the goodwill impairment loss to be reported on Dec 31 under current US GAAP

First step is to calculate the Goodwill implied fair value

Goodwill implied fair value=($3,310,000-$3,170,000)

Goodwill implied fair value=$140,000

Now let calculate the Impairment loss using this formula

Impairment loss = Goodwill implied fair value - Goodwill book value

Let plug in the formula

Impairment loss= $140,000 - $225,000

Impairment loss = $85,000

Therefore the goodwill impairment loss to be reported on Dec 31 under current US GAAP is $85,000
