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

of 2021. The inventory as reported at the end of 2020 using LIFO would have been $53,000 higher using FIFO. Retained earnings at the end of 2020 was reported as $710,000 (reflecting the LIFO method). The tax rate is 35%.
Required:
a. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2009) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.
b. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2009 to record the change in principle.

Answer:

a. The balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years is $744,450.

b. Debit Inventory for $53,000; Credit Income tax payable for $18,550; and Credit Retained earnings for $34,450.

Explanation:

Note: There is an error in the date stated in the requirements of the question as they are different from the date in the body of the question. The requirements are therefore restated with the correct date before answering the question as follows:

a. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.

b. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2021 to record the change in principle.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

a. Calculate the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years.

The effect of LIFO is to overstate the cost of goods sold and understated the retained earnings.

The balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years can therefore be determined as follows:

Inventory understatement net of tax = $53,000 * (100% - Tax rate) = $53,000 * (100% - 35%) = $34,450

Therefore, we have:

Retained earnings under FIFO = Retained earnings as reported + Inventory understatement net of tax = $710,000 + $34,450 = $744,450

Therefore, the balance in retained earnings at the time of the change (beginning of 2021) as it would have been reported if FIFO had been used in prior years is $744,450.

b. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2021 to record the change in principle.

The journal entry will look as follows:

<u>Details                                                       Debit ($)        Credit ($)    </u>

Inventory                                                    53,000

Income tax payable (53,000 * 35%)                                18,550

Retained earnings                                                            34,450

<u><em>(To record the change in principle.)                                                 </em></u>

You, being a supplier of steak dinners, opened your steak house. Assume the market-clearing price is $20 and the market clearing
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

A) Shortage, B) Fall in Price

Explanation:

A] Market is at equilibrium where - downward sloping Market Demand (inversely related to price), & upward sloping Market Supply (directly related to price) - are equal &  these curves intersect each other.

Above condition gives us equilibrium price & quantity.

If market price < equilibrium price, as given case 15 < 20. Then, supply being directly related to price is lesser, demand being inversely related to price is higher. So, there is a situation of excess demand, ie <u>shortage </u>(graphically denoted by distance between demand & supply curve at actual price below equilibrium price)

B] Dealers of hybrid vehicles increase imply increase in supply of these vehicles, rightwards shift in the supply curve. This creates excess supply ie surplus of them. It implies that competition among sellers lead to <u>fall in price </u>of these hybrid vehicles.

Online reviews has become increasingly important to consumers' decisions to purchase items ranging from household goods to media products

What is a review online?

Online Reviews are comments made by online visitors or customers about a product or service. These reviews, often referred to as 'social proof tools', are essentially pieces of User Generated Content (UGC) that are intended to help businesses build up an online presence as well as trust among their visitors

Are online reviews important?

For nearly 9 in 10 consumers, an online review is as important as a personal recommendation. Customers are likely to spend 31% more on a business with “excellent” reviews. 86% of people will hesitate to purchase from a business that has negative online reviews.

Why are online reviews important for businesses?

Online reviews have increasingly become the front to your digital reputation. Reviews help you get noticed, lead to more sales, improve search engine rankings, inform your business, and convince customers to pick up the phone and call you.

Why good reviews are important?

Very good (or bad) reviews have a way of quickly spreading. Encouraging consumers to review your company is an easy way to expand your brand's reach. When people have good things to say, they are also more likely to share their reviews on more sites, including external websites like Yelp, Four Square, and TripAdvisor.
