FIFO | Weighted average | Difference | |
January 1 | 7,200,000 | 7,700,000 | 500,000 |
December 31 | 7,900,000 | 8,300,000 | 400,000 |
Due to change in method from FIFO to Weighted average, Value of beginning and ending inventory will increase by $500,000 and $400,000 respectively.
Due to increase in beginning inventory by $500,000, equity will decrease by $500,000 and due to increase in ending inventory by $400,000, equity will increase by $400,000.
Net effect of accounting change would be = $100,000 decrease in equity.
Net amount to be reported = - $100,000
Please ask if you have any query related to the question. Thank you
