Accounting for a change from FIFO to LIFO will include:
Select one:
a. An adjustment to Retained Earnings, but not a Restatement of prior-year presented financial statements.
b. A Restatement of prior-year presented financial statements, but not an adjustment to Retained Earnings.
c. Both an adjustment to Retained Earnings and a Restatement of prior-year presented financial statements.
d. Neither an adjustment to Retained Earnings nor a Restatement of prior-year presented financial statements.
Accounting for a change from FIFO to LIFO will include an adjustment to Retained Earnings, but not a Restatement of prior-year presented financial statements because it would be too difficult and therefore impractical.
Correct answer is option a.
