During 2016 (its first year of operations) and 2017, Batali Foods used the FIFO inventory costing method for both financial reporting and tax purposes. At the beginning of 2018, Batali decided to change to the average method for both financial reporting and tax purposes.

Income components before income tax for 2018, 2017, and 2016 were as follows ($ in millions):

2018 2017 2016
Revenues $ 490 $ 460 $ 450
Cost of goods sold (FIFO) (53 ) (47 ) (45 )
Cost of goods sold (average) (76 ) (70 ) (66 )
Operating expenses (282 ) (278 ) (270 )


Dividends of $26 million were paid each year. Batali’s fiscal year ends December 31.

Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2018 to record the change in accounting principle. (Ignore income taxes.)
2. Prepare the 2018–2017 comparative income statements.
3. & 4. Determine the balance in retained earnings at January 2017 as Batali reported using FIFO method and determine the adjustment of balance in retained earnings as on January 2017 using average method instead of FIFO method.

Milani, Inc., acquired 10 percent of Seida Corporation on January 1, 2017, for $199,000 and appropriately accounted for the investment using the fair-value method. On January 1, 2018, Milani purchased an additional 30 percent of Seida for $655,000 which resulted in significant influence over Seida. On that date, the fair value of Seida's common stock was $1,980,000 in total. Seida's January 1, 2018 book value equaled $1,830,000, although land was undervalued by $130,000. Any additional excess fair value over Seida's book value was attributable to a trademark with an 8-year remaining life. During 2018, Seida reported income of $282,000 and declared and paid dividends of $119,000. Prepare the 2018 journal entries for Milani related to its investment in Seida.

On January 1, 2018, Ackerman sold equipment to Brannigan (a wholly owned subsidiary) for $190,000 in cash. The equipment had originally cost $171,000 but had a book value of only $104,500 when transferred. On that date, the equipment had a five-year remaining life. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method.

Ackerman reported $470,000 in net income in 2018 (not including any investment income) while Brannigan reported $154,100. Ackerman attributed any excess acquisition-date fair value to Brannigan's unpatented technology, which was amortized at a rate of $5,700 per year.

a. What is consolidated net income for 2018?

b. What is the parent's share of consolidated net income for 2018 if Ackerman owns only 90 percent of Brannigan?

c. What is the parent's share of consolidated net income for 2018 if Ackerman owns only 90 percent of Brannigan and the equipment transfer was upstream?

d. What is the consolidated net income for 2019 if Ackerman reports $490,000 (does not include investment income) and Brannigan $165,800 in income? Assume that Brannigan is a wholly owned subsidiary and the equipment transfer was downstream.
