Roundtree Manufacturing Co. is preparing its year-end financial statements and is considering the accounting for the following items. 1. The vice president of sales had indicated that one product line has lost its customer appeal and will be phased out over the next 3 years. Therefore, a decision has been made to lower the estimated lives on related production equipment from the remaining 5 years to 3 years. 2. The Hightone Building was converted from a sales office to offices for the Accounting Department at the beginning of this year. Therefore, the expense related to this building will now appear as an administrative expense rather than a selling expense on the current year鈥檚 income statement. 3. Estimating the lives of new products in the Leisure Products Division has become very difficult because of the highly competitive conditions in this market. Therefore, the practice of deferring and amortizing preproduction costs has been abandoned in favor of expensing such costs as they are incurred. Identify and explain whether each of the above items is a change in principle, a change in estimate, or an error.

Aston Corporation performs year-end planning in November of each year before its calendar year ends in December. The preliminary estimated net income is \(3 million. The CFO, Rita Warren, meets with the company president, J. B. Aston, to review the projected numbers. She presents the following projected information. ASTON CORPORATION PROJECTED INCOME STATEMENT FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2017 Sales \)28,995,000 Interest revenue 5,000 Cost of goods sold \(14,000,000 Depreciation 2,600,000 Operating expenses 6,400,000 23,000,000 Income before income tax 6,000,000 Income tax 3,000,000 Net income \) 3,000,000 ASTON CORPORATION SELECTED BALANCE SHEET INFORMATION AT DECEMBER 31, 2017 Estimated cash balance \( 5,000,000 Available-for-sale debt investments (at cost) 10,000,000 Fair value adjustment (1/1/17) 鈥�0鈥� Estimated fair value at December 31, 2017: Security Cost Estimated Fair Value A \) 2,000,000 \( 2,200,000 B 4,000,000 3,900,000 C 3,000,000 3,100,000 D 1,000,000 1,800,000 Total \)10,000,000 \(11,000,000 Other information at December 31, 2017: Equipment \)3,000,000 Accumulated depreciation (5-year SL) 1,200,000 New robotic equipment (purchased 1/1/17) 5,000,000 Accumulated depreciation (5-year DDB) 2,000,000 The corporation has never used robotic equipment before, and Warren assumed an accelerated method because of the rapidly changing technology in robotic equipment. The company normally uses straight-line depreciation for production equipment. Aston explains to Warren that it is important for the corporation to show a \(7,000,000 income before taxes because Aston receives a \)1,000,000 bonus if the income before taxes and bonus reaches \(7,000,000. Aston also does not want the company to pay more than \)3,000,000 in income taxes to the government.

Instructions (a) What can Warren do within GAAP to accommodate the president鈥檚 wishes to achieve $7,000,000 in income before taxes and bonus? Present the revised income statement based on your decision. (b) Are the actions ethical? Who are the stakeholders in this decision, and what effect do Warren鈥檚 actions have on their interests?

Distinguish between counterbalancing and noncounterbalancing errors. Give an example of each.

The management of Utrillo Instrument Company had concluded, with the concurrence of its independent auditors, that results of operations would be more fairly presented if Utrillo changed its method of pricing inventory from last-in, first-out (LIFO) to average-cost in 2017. Given below is the 5-year summary of income under LIFO and a schedule of what the inventories would be if stated on the average-cost method.

UTRILLO INSTRUMENT COMPANY STATEMENT OF INCOME AND RETAINED EARNINGS FOR THE YEARS ENDED MAY 31 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Sales鈥攏et \(13,964 \)15,506 \(16,673 \)18,221 \(18,898 Cost of goods sold Beginning inventory 1,000 1,100 1,000 1,115 1,237 Purchases 13,000 13,900 15,000 15,900 17,100 Ending inventory (1,100) (1,000) (1,115) (1,237) (1,369) Total 12,900 14,000 14,885 15,778 16,968 Gross profi t 1,064 1,506 1,788 2,443 1,930 Administrative expenses 700 763 832 907 989 Income before taxes 364 743 956 1,536 941 Income taxes (50%) 182 372 478 768 471 Net income 182 371 478 768 470 Retained earnings鈥攂eginning 1,206 1,388 1,759 2,237 3,005 Retained earnings鈥攅nding \) 1,388 \( 1,759 \) 2,237 \( 3,005 \) 3,475 Earnings per share \(1.82 \)3.71 \(4.78 \)7.68 \(4.70 SCHEDULE OF INVENTORY BALANCES USING AVERAGE-COST METHOD FOR THE YEARS ENDED MAY 31 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 \)1,010 \(1,124 \)1,101 \(1,270 \)1,500 $1,720

Instructions Prepare comparative statements for the 5 years, assuming that Utrillo changed its method of inventory pricing to average-cost. Indicate the effects on net income and earnings per share for the years involved. Utrillo Instruments started business in 2012. (All amounts except EPS are rounded up to the nearest dollar.)

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.
