Answer: A. incorrect because part of each payment is to principal and to interest. Therefore, only a portion of the payment goes to interest, so the full amount should not be included when computing the rate of interest paid.

Explanation:

When paying back a loan, there are two components to the periodic interest payment. The first component is the interest payment. This is the payment to compensate the borrower for loaning out the money and is based on the interest rate and the principal left to be repaid.

The second component goes towards repaying the principal of the loan which in this case is $10,000. When computing the periodic interest rate therefore, the entire amount paid per period should not be used as it would inflate the interest rate.

Cr Inventory $14,000

Explanation:

Adjusted inventory

= New method of $171,000 - Old method of $185,000

= $14,000 decrease

It is to be noted that a lower inventory will have high costs associated with goods sold hence reduces profit/net income for the previous year by $14,000.

Also, the net income reports to retained earnings account hence decreases retained earnings.

Having made the above adjustment, we can assume that the average cost method was used for 2020 books.
