Shown below are net income amounts as they would be determined by Weihrich Steel Company by each of three different inventory costing methods ($ in thousands). 

FIFO Average Cost LIFO Pre-2020 $2,800 $2,540 $2,280 2020 750 600 540 $3,550 $3,140 $2,820

 

Required: 

1. Assume that Weihrich used FIFO before 2021, and then in 2021 decided to switch to average cost. Prepare the journal entry to record the change in accounting principle and briefly describe any other steps Weihrich should take to appropriately report the situation. (Ignore income tax effects.) 

2. Assume that Weihrich used FIFO before 2021, and then in 2021 decided to switch to LIFO. Assume accounting records are inadequate to determine LIFO information prior to 2021. Therefore, the 2020 ($540) and pre-2020 ($2,280) data are not available. Prepare the journal entry to record the change in accounting principle and briefly describe any other steps Weihrich should take to appropriately report the situation. (Ignore income tax effects.) 

3. Assume that Weihrich used FIFO before 2021, and then in 2021 decided to switch to LIFO cost. Weihrich’s records of inventory purchases and sales are not available for several previous years. Therefore, the pre-2020 LIFO information ($2,280) is not available. However, Weihrich does have the information needed to apply LIFO on a prospective basis beginning in 2020. Prepare the journal entry to record the change in accounting principle, and briefly describe any other steps Weihrich should take to appropriately report the situation. (Ignore income tax effects.)

On January 1, 2018, Pomegranate Company acquired 90% of the voting stock of Starfruit Company for $91,700,000 in cash. The fair value of the noncontrolling interest in Starfruit at the date of acquisition was $6,300,000. Starfruit’s book value was $13,000,000 at the date of acquisition. Starfruit’s assets and liabilities were reported on its books at values approximating fair value, except its plant and equipment (10-year life, straight-line) was overvalued by $25,000,000. Starfruit Company had previously unreported intangible assets, with a market value of $40,000,000 and 5-year life, straight-line, which were capitalized following GAAP.

Additional information: Pomegranate uses the complete equity method to account for its investment in Starfruit on its own books. Goodwill recognized in this acquisition was impaired by a total of $2,000,000 in 2018 and 2019, and by $500,000 in 2020. It is now December 31, 2020, the accounting year-end.

Larsen’s Creamery has a costing system with two direct cost categories: direct materials and direct manufacturing labor. Manufacturing overhead (both variable and fixed) is allocated to products on the basis of standard direct manufacturing labor-hours (DLH). At the beginning of 2020 Larsen adopted the following manufacturing cost standards. Input Cost per Output Unit Direct materials 3 lb. at $5 per lb. $15.00 Direct manufacturing labor 5 hours at $15 per hour $75.00 Manufacturing overhead Variable $6 per DLH $30.00 Fixed $8 per DLH $40.00 Standard manufacturing cost per output unit $160.00 The denominator level for total manufacturing overhead per month in 2020 is 40,000 direct manufacturing labor-hours. Larsen’s flexible budget for March 2020 was based on this denominator level. The records for March 2020 indicated the following: Direct materials purchased 25,000 lb. at $5.20 per lb. Direct materials used 23,100 lb. Direct manufacturing labor 40,100 hours at $14.60 per hour Actual fixed manufacturing overhead $350,000 Actual variable manufacturing overhead $250,000 Actual production 7,800 output units

Splish Corp. has 150,240 shares of common stock outstanding. In 2020, the company reports income from continuing operations before income tax of $1,210,400. Additional transactions not considered in the $1,210,400 are as follows.

1. In 2020, Splish Corp. sold equipment for $38,300. The machine had originally cost $83,600 and had accumulated depreciation of $31,900. The gain or loss is considered non-recurring.
2. The company discontinued operations of one of its subsidiaries during the current year at a loss of $191,500 before taxes. Assume that this transaction meets the criteria for discontinued operations. The loss from operations of the discontinued subsidiary was $90,100 before taxes; the loss from disposal of the subsidiary was $101,400 before taxes.
3. An internal audit discovered that amortization of intangible assets was understated by $38,400 (net of tax) in a prior period. The amount was charged against retained earnings.
4. The company recorded a non-recurring gain of $125,400 on the condemnation of some of its property (included in the $1,210,400).


Analyze the above information and prepare an income statement for the year 2020, starting with income from continuing operations before income tax. Compute earnings per share as it should be shown on the face of the income statement. (Assume a total effective tax rate of 19% on all items, unless otherwise indicated.)
