You are running a small software firm producing games for mobile devices and are considering introducing a new adventure game to customers. You plan to sell the product for the next 3 years and then exit before the competition catches up. Based on the market research done last year for $30,000, you believe that, in year 1, the project will generate $4,800,000 of revenue with the cost of goods sold of $2,850,000. The revenue and the cost will diminish by 2% each year after that. The project will immediately require new computer equipment valued at $1,800,000. This equipment will be depreciated to $0 over 3 years using the straight-line method. The net working capital will increase immediately by $400,000 from the current level, stay at the level in year 1 and then decrease by $250,000 in year 2 and again decrease by $150,000 in year 3, returning to the current level. The introduction of the new game will affect the revenues from your other existing adventure games negatively by $190,000 per year.
Forecast all of the annual free cash flows for this project, and then compute its net present value and IRR using a discount rate of 9%. Is this project worth taking? Your company’s tax rate is 35%.

The following are three independent, unrelated sets of facts
relating to accounting changes.
| Situation 1: Sanford Company is in the process of having its first audit. The company has used the cash basis of accounting for revenue recognition. Sanford president, B. J. Jimenez, is willing to change to the accrual method of revenue recognition. | |
| Situation 2: Hopkins Co. decides in January 2018 to change from FIFO to weighted-average pricing for its inventories. | |
| Situation 3: Marshall Co. determined that the depreciable lives of its fixed assets are too long at present to fairly match the cost of the fixed assets with the revenue produced. The company decided at the beginning of the current year to reduce the depreciable lives of all of its existing fixed assets by 5 years. |
For each of the situations described, provide the information
indicated below.
Type of accounting change.
