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 $ 420 $ 390 $ 380
Cost of goods sold (FIFO) (46 ) (40 ) (38 )
Cost of goods sold (average) (62 ) (56 ) (52 )
Operating expenses (254 ) (250 ) (242 )


Dividends of $20 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.

  1. Tide Pods are concentrated laundry detergent packets, which have been sold since 2012. Their colorful appearance and small size have led to nearly 7,700 pod-related calls to poison centers for children under 5. In 2017, a series of memes featured Tide Pods as “forbidden fruit.” In January 2018 a (mostly) satirical Tide Pod Challenge appeared, that “encouraged” teenagers to eat tide pods, video the experience, and post it online.
    1. During the first 30 days of 2018, there were 93 calls to poison control centers for teenagers who intentionally ate laundry pods. Typically, the number of calls for teenagers ingesting laundry pods in a month has  = 37 and s = 12. What is the z-score for number of calls in January 2018? What does this imply?
    2. Public was associating increased sharing/view rate of videos tagged “Tide Pod Challenge” with increased calls to poison control centers for eating Tide Pods? For each day in the first 30 days of 2018, the number of YouTube views and poison center calls were measured.  The correlation was r = .41. Is this a significant correlation at the 95% confidence level? Should YouTube take the videos down?
    3. In response to the Tide Pod Challenge, P&G has added warnings about ingesting laundry pods. This may have reduced poisoning incidents involving children. Based on data from the first 15 weeks of 2018, weekly calls for children had an average of 119 and std. deviation of 20. Data from before 2018 had weekly calls of at least 148. Has the number of poisoning incidents decreased? Write the null and alternative hypothesis.
    4. Calculate the test statistic, and with 95% confidence, state your conclusion.

Cybernetronics Inc. (Cyber) is a Canadian-owned public company which designs and manufactures communications and control systems. The company's year end is May 31. It is now June 2018.

You, CPA, are the manager for the audit of Cyber and yesterday had met with the treasurer to discuss the year-end audit. The partner responsible for this client has asked you to prepare a report for the client which discusses important financial accounting issues and a memo to him regarding the audit issues you believe are important.

In April 2018, Cyber introduced a price protection policy for its customers to stimulate sales. Cyber promised customers that if it reduced prices after the customer made its purchase Cyber would reduce the customer's liability accordingly or refund the appropriate amount. On June 14, 2018, Cyber reduced its selling prices by 15%. Sales affected by the price protection policy as at May 31, 2018 were recognized in the amount of $2.4 million.

In May 2018, Cyber entered into an arrangement with a real estate company whereby Cyber provided robotic cleaning machines in exchange for free rent at its head office location. The cost of the machines delivered to the real estate company was $900,000 and would have a selling price of $1,500,000. Cyber is not required to pay rent for twelve months commencing June 1, 2018. This represents a savings in lease costs of $1,200,000 to Cyber. This transaction allowed Cyber to reduce its inventory of these machines which management felt was too high. Cyber's draft year-end financial statements do not reflect this transaction.

Senior management of Cyber is concerned about the new requirement to disclose management compensation figures. They want to avoid any criticism that their total compensation is not warranted based on Cyber's financial performance.
