Answer:
Entry to record adjustment:
COGS Dr $9.4m
Inventory Cr $9.4m
Explanation:
The question relates to a change in accounting policy. According to IAS 8 (changes in accounting policy and estimate), a change in accounting policy is to be reflected retrospectively and prospectively, which means any changes should be implemented by bringing changes in the past records. Since CPS company has been using FIFO method, the inventory has been overstated in the financial statements. A shift to AVCO has resulted in a decrease in inventory value.
The value of inventory has to be reduced as a result of change in accounting policy (i.e $38m - $28.6m). This is the closing inventory so a reduction in the value of closing inventory results in an increase in cost of goods sold (COGS), therefore, the adjusting entry will be aimed at reducing inventory and increasing cost of goods sold, see as follows:
Entry:
COGS Dr $9.4m
Inventory Cr $9.4m
GDP is the sum of all final goods and services produced by an economy in a given period. In calculating GDP only the final goods and services that are traded are accounted for. Thus, household services that do not generate income are not accounted for in GDP, only productive activities. Therefore, in the long run the tendency is that the GDP analyzed by this issue will decrease, because when the unemployment rate increases, fewer workers will be employed in the productive sector. These people may substitute work for leisure or household chores, but this will not count in GDP.
