PLEASE DO NOT REJECT IT I DON'T WANT WASTE MY MONEY HERE AND CHANCES HERE

Ferguson Co. decides at the beginning of 2019 to adopt the FIFO method of inventory valuation. Ferguson had used the
average-cost method for financial reporting since its inception on January 1, 2017, and had maintained records adequate
to apply the FIFO method retrospectively. Ferguson concluded that FIFO is the preferable inventory method because it
reflects the current cost of inventory on the statement of financial position. The following table presents the effects of the
change in accounting policy on inventory and cost of goods sold.

 

  INVENTORY DETERMINED BY COST OF GOODS SOLD DETERMINED BY
DATE AVERAGE-COST METHOD FIFO METHOD AVERAGE-COST METHOD FIFO METHOD
January 7, 2017 P 0.00 P 0.00 P 0.00 P 0.00
December 31, 2017 100.00 80.00 800.00 820.00
December 31, 2018 200.00 240.00 1,000.00 940.00
December 31, 2019 320.00 390.00 1,130.00 1,100.00

The balance of retained earnings on December 31, 2017, 2018, and 2019, is P2,200, P4,200; and P6,070, respectively.

For each year presented, sales are P4,000 and operating expenses are P1,000. Ferguson provides two years of financial
statements. Earnings per share information is not required


Required:

method to the FIFO method for 2019 and 2018.
