Exercise 4-9

Requirement 1

This is a change in accounting estimate.

Requirement 2

When an estimate is revised as new information comes to light, accounting for the change in estimate is quite straightforward. We do not restate prior years' financial statements to reflect the new estimate; nor do we report the cumulative effect of the change in current income. Instead, we merely incorporate the new estimate in any related accounting determinations from there on. If the after-tax income effect of the change in estimate is material, the effect on net income and earnings per share must be disclosed in a note, along with the justification for the change.

Requirement 3

$800,000 Cost

$160,000 Old annual depreciation ($800,000 ÷ 5 years)

x 2 years 320,000 Depreciation to date (2001-2002)

480,000 Book value

÷ 6 Estimated remaining life (8 years - 2 years)

$ 80,000 New annual depreciation

Exercise 4-10

Requirement 1

This is a change in accounting principle.

Requirement 2

The cumulative income effect is reported — net of the tax effect of the change — in the income statement as a separate item of income, between extraordinary items and net income. The before-tax effect is $(192,000), calculated as follows:

Exercise 4-10 (concluded)

Cumulative effect of the change: ($ in thousands)

Straight-line DDB

2001 depreciation $160 $320

2002 depreciation 160 192

Accumulated depreciation

and 2001-2002 reduction in income $320 ( ( $512

difference

$(192)

The after-tax effect is $(115,200) = [$(192,000) x (1-.40)].

Problem 4-6

1. Restructuring is an example of an event that is either unusual or infrequent, but not both. Restructuring costs should be included in income from continuing operations but reported as a separate income statement component. The item is reported gross, not net of tax as with extraordinary gains and losses.

2. The extraordinary gain should be presented, net of tax, in the income statement below income from continuing operations. Also, earnings per share for income from continuing operations and for the extraordinary item should be disclosed.

3. The correction of the error should be treated as a prior period adjustment to beginning retained earnings, not as an adjustment to current year's cost of goods sold. In addition, the 2002 financial statements should be restated to reflect the correction, and a disclosure note is required that communicates the impact of the error on 2002 income.
