Pam Erickson Construction Company changed from the completed-contract to the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for long-term construction contracts during 2018. For tax purposes, the company employs the completed-contract method and will continue this approach in the future. (Hint: Adjust all tax consequences through the Deferred Tax Liability account.) The appropriate information related to this change is as follows. Pretax Income from: Percentage-of-Completion Completed-Contract Difference 2017 \(780,000 \)590,000 $190,000 2018 700,000 480,000 220,000 Instructions (a) Assuming that the tax rate is 35%, what is the amount of net income that would be reported in 2018? (b) What entry(ies) are necessary to adjust the accounting records for the change in accounting principle?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The net income will be$455,000, and the retained earnings will be $123,500. The journal entry 鈥渃onstruction in process鈥� will be debited, and credit items will be deferred tax liability and retained earnings

Step by step solution

01

Calculation of net income, using the retrospective approach

Net Income = Income before income tax - Income tax

= 700,000 - (700,000 x 35%)

= $455,000

02

Calculation of Retained Earnings

Retained Earning = Contruction in Process x (1- tax rate)

= 190,000 x 0.6

= $123,500

Most popular questions from this chapter

The following are three independent, unrelated sets of facts relating to accounting changes.

Situation 1: Sanford Company is in the process of having its first audit. The company has used the cash basis of accounting for revenue recognition. Sanford president, B. J. Jimenez, is willing to change to the accrual method of revenue recognition.

Situation 2: Hopkins Co. decides in January 2018 to change from FIFO to weighted-average pricing for its inventories.

Situation 3: Marshall Co. determined that the depreciable lives of its fixed assets are too long at present to fairly match the cost of the fixed assets with the revenue produced. The company decided at the beginning of the current year to reduce the depreciable lives of all of its existing fixed assets by 5 years.

Instructions

For each of the situations described, provide the information indicated below.

(a) Type of accounting change.

(b) Manner of reporting the change under current generally accepted accounting principles, including a discussion where applicable of how amounts are computed.

(c) Effect of the change on the balance sheet and income statement

Below is the net income of Anita Ferreri Instrument Co., a private corporation, computed under the three inventory methods using a periodic system. FIFO Average-Cost LIFO 2015 \(26,000 \)24,000 $20,000 2016 30,000 25,000 21,000 2017 28,000 27,000 24,000 2018 34,000 30,000 26,000

Instructions (Ignore tax considerations.) (a) Assume that in 2018 Ferreri decided to change from the FIFO method to the average-cost method of pricing inventories. Prepare the journal entry necessary for the change that took place during 2018, and show net income reported for 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018.

(b) Assume that in 2018 Ferreri, which had been using the LIFO method since incorporation in 2015, changed to the FIFO method of pricing inventories. Prepare the journal entry necessary to record the change in 2018 and show net income reported for 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018

Which of the following is not classified as an accounting change by IFRS?

(a) Change in accounting policy.

(b) Change in accounting estimate.

(c) Errors in financial statements.

(d) None of the above

(Error Analysis and Correcting Entry) The reported net incomes for the first 2 years of Sandra Gustafson Products, Inc., were as follows: 2017, \(147,000; 2018, \)185,000. Early in 2019, the following errors were discovered.

1. Depreciation of equipment for 2017 was overstated \(17,000.

2. Depreciation of equipment for 2018 was understated \)38,500.

3. December 31, 2017, inventory was understated \(50,000.

4. December 31, 2018, inventory was overstated \)16,200.

Instructions

Prepare the correcting entry necessary when these errors are discovered. Assume that the books are closed. (Ignore income tax considerations.)

Shannon, Inc., changed from the LIFO cost flow assumption to the FIFO cost flow assumption in 2017. The increase in the prior year鈥檚 income before taxes is $1,200,000. The tax rate is 40%. Prepare Shannon鈥檚 2017 journal entry to record the change in accounting principle.
