(Record the cumulative effect of pretax income due to change from FIFO to average cost) |
Table (1)
Description:
- Retained Earnings is an equity account. Earnings decreased due to decrease in pretax income due to decrease in cumulative difference out of the change from FIFO to average cost, and a decrease in equity is debited.
- Deferred Tax Liability is a liability account. The obligation to pay taxes has decreased on saved income taxes, due to decrease in cumulative difference. The liability has decreased and a decrease in liability is debited.
- Inventory is an asset account. Since the cumulative difference has decreased due to change from FIFO to average cost flow, inventory has decreased, and a decrease in asset is credited.
Working Notes:
Compute the deferred tax liability amount.
Compute retained earnings amount.
