Goddard Company has used the FIFO method of inventory valuation
since it began operations in 2015. Goddard decided to change to the
average cost method for determining inventory costs at the
beginning of 2018. The following schedule shows year-end inventory
balances under the FIFO and average cost methods:
Year | FIFO | Average Cost | ||||
2015 | $ | 46,300 | $ | 56,600 | ||
2016 | 81,900 | 72,300 | ||||
2017 | 88,200 | 81,900 | ||||
Required:
1. Ignoring income taxes, prepare the 2018 journal
entry to adjust the accounts to reflect the average cost
method.
2. How much higher or lower would cost of goods
sold be in the 2017 revised income statement?
Ignoring income taxes, prepare the 2018 journal entry to adjust the accounts to reflect the average cost method. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
