- Deferred Tax Liability is a liability account. The obligation to pay taxes has increased on saved income taxes, due to increase in cumulative difference. The liability increased and an increase in liability is credited.
- Retained Earnings is an equity account. Since earnings increased due to increase in pretax income due to increase in cumulative difference out of the change from LIFO to FIFO, and an increase in equity is credited.

- In 2020, Frost Company, which began operations in 2018, decided to change from LIFO to FIFO because management believed that FIFO belter represented the flow of their inventory. Management prepared the following analysis showing the effect of this change: Frost reported net income of 2,500,000, 2,400,000, and 2,100,000 in 2018, 2019, and 2020, respectively. The tax rate is 21%. Required: 1. Prepare the journal entry necessary to record the change. 2. What amount of net income would Frost report in 2018, 2019, and 2020? 3. If Frosts employees received a bonus of 10% of income before deducting the bonus and income taxes in 2018 and 2019, what would be the effect on net income for 2018, 2019, and 2020?arrow_forwardFava Company began operations in 2018 and used the LIFO inventory method for both financial reporting and income taxes. At the beginning of 2019, the anticipated cost trends in the industry had changed, so that it adopted the FIFO method for both financial reporting and income taxes. Fava reported revenues of 300,000 and 270,000 in 2019 and 2018, respectively. Fava reported expenses (excluding income tax expense) of 125,000 and 120,000 in 2019 and 2018, which included cost of goods sold of 55,000 and 45,000, respectively. An analysis indicates that the FIFO cost of goods sold would have been lower by 8,000 in 2018. The tax rate is 21%. Fava has a simple capital structure with 15,000 shares of common stock outstanding during 2018 and 2019. It paid no dividends in either year. Required: 1.
