Inventory $ 15.00
Retained earnings $ 9.00
Deferred tax liability $ 6.00

* Prior to 2018, using FIFO:


Inventory would have been higher by $13, so cost of goods
sold would have been lower by $13, so pretax income $ 15.00
would have been higher by:
Less: Income tax at 40% $ (6.00)

Cumulative net income and thus retained earnings would

  have been higher by: $ 9.00

Ques 1

General Journal Debit Credit


Inventory $ 13.00
Retained earnings $ 7.80
Deferred tax liability $ 5.20

* Prior to 2018, using FIFO:


Inventory would have been higher by $13, so
cost of goods sold would have been lower by
$13, so pretax income would have been $ 13.00
higher by:
Less: Income tax at 40% $ (5.20)
Cumulative net income and thus retained
earnings would
  have been higher by: $ 7.80

For financial reporting purposes, but not for tax, the company is retrospectively increasing
accounting income, but not taxable income. This creates a temporary difference between the
two that will reverse over time as the unsold inventory becomes cost of goods sold. When
that happens, taxable income will be higher than accounting income. When taxable income
will be higher than accounting income as a temporary difference reverses, we have a future
taxable amount and record a deferred tax liability.

Ques 2
2017 2018
($ in millions)
Net income $23 $29

Net income, which was reported in 2017 as $21 million, would be revised to $23 million in the
2018-2017 comparative income statements. Net income in 2018 would simply be reported at
$29 million, the amount resulting from using the new method (FIFO). The comparative income
statements and balance sheets also would be recast to reflect the balances as if the FIFO
method had been used in prior years.
