Chapter 22: 22-1E (page 1308)

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

Lowell Corporation has used the accrual basis of accounting for several years. A review of the records, however, indicates that some expenses and revenues have been handled on a cash basis because of errors made by an inexperienced bookkeeper. Income statements prepared by the bookkeeper reported \(29,000 net income for 2016 and \)37,000 net income for 2017. Further examination of the records reveals that the following items were handled improperly.

1. Rent was received from a tenant in December 2016. The amount, \(1,000, was recorded as revenue at that time even though the rental pertained to 2017.

2. Salaries and wages payable on December 31 have been consistently omitted from the records of that date and have been entered as expenses when paid in the following year. The amounts of the accruals recorded in this manner were:

December 31, 2015 \)1,100

December 31, 2016 1,200

December 31, 2017 940

3. Invoices for supplies purchased have been charged to expense accounts when received. Inventories of supplies on hand at the end of each year have been ignored, and no entry has been made for them.

December 31, 2015 $1,300

December 31, 2016 940

December 31, 2017 1,420

Instructions

Prepare a schedule that will show the corrected net income for the years 2016 and 2017. All items listed should be labeled clearly. (Ignore income tax considerations.)

Presented below are income statements prepared on a LIFO and FIFO basis for Kenseth Company, which started operations on January 1, 2016. The company presently uses the LIFO method of pricing its inventory and has decided to switch to the FIFO method in 2017. The FIFO income statement is computed in accordance with the requirements of GAAP. Kenseth鈥檚 profit-sharing agreement with its employees indicates that the company will pay employees 10% of income before profit-sharing. Income taxes are ignored. LIFO Basis FIFO Basis 2017 2016 2017 2016 Sales \(3,000 \)3,000 \(3,000 \)3,000 Cost of goods sold 1,130 1,000 1,100 940 Operating expenses 1,000 1,000 1,000 1,000 Income before profi t-sharing 870 1,000 900 1,060 Profi t-sharing expense 87 100 96 100 Net income \( 783 \) 900 \( 804 \) 960 Instructions Answer the following questions. (a) If comparative income statements are prepared, what net income should Kenseth report in 2016 and 2017? (b) Explain why, under the FIFO basis, Kenseth reports \(100 in 2016 and \)96 in 2017 for its profit-sharing expense. (c) Assume that Kenseth has a beginning balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2017, of \(900 using the LIFO method. The company declared and paid dividends of \)500 in 2017. Prepare the -retained earnings statement for 2017, assuming that Kenseth has switched to the FIFO method.
