Chapter 20, Problem 20.1P

Change in inventory costing methods; comparative income statements

• LO20–2

The Cecil-Booker Vending Company changed its method of valuing inventory from the average cost method to the FIFO cost method at the beginning of 2018. At December 31, 2017, inventories were $120,000 (average cost basis) and were $124,000 a year earlier. Cecil-Booker’s accountants determined that the inventories would have totaled $155,000 at December 31, 2017, and $160,000 at December 31, 2016, if determined on a FIFO basis. A tax rate of 40% is in effect for all years.

One hundred thousand common shares were outstanding each year. Income from continuing operations was $400,000 in 2017 and $525,000 in 2018. There were no discontinued operations either year.

Required:

1. Prepare the journal entry to record the change in accounting principle. (All tax effects should be reflected in the deferred tax liability account.)
2. Prepare the 2018–2017 comparative income statements beginning with income from continuing operations. Include per share amounts.

Calculate the sample size based on the specifications in Buhi's contract. Make sure it is within budget, reasonable to obtain, and that you use appropriate inputs relative to market research best practices. Use the calculator to adjust the sample size statement. Use the agreed-upon sample size in Buhi's contract: 996.
