Answer to Q

1. Change to the FIFO method to LIFO Method : effect as of the beginning of the year

The amount due to change in the method of valuation will be adjusted with retained earning, since the effect arises because of the past transaction. At the beginning of year change will be adjusted with Retained earning, since the adjustment is related to material lying as result of prior period and the profits of prior period has already been adjusted and recorded as part of retained earnings

Prohibition of product line by government will be reported as discontinued operation since the prohibition will result in closure of activity and the same is no more a continued activity/operation of the business

The company is not engaged in real estate and the sale of assets is not an ordinary, day to day activity for the company. The same will be reported as extraordinary income
