The Pyramid Construction Company has used the completed-contract method of accounting for construction contracts
P 20-2 Change in principle; change in method of accounting for long-term construction
The Pyramid Construction Company has used the completed-contract method of accounting for construction contracts during its first two years of operation, 2009 and 2010. At the beginning of 2011, Pyramid decided to change to the percentage-of-completion method for both tax and financial reporting purposes. The following table presents information concerning the change for 2009–2011. The income tax rate for all years is 40%.
Pyramid issued 50,000 $1 par, common shares for $230,000 when the business began, and there have been no changes in paid-in capital since then. Dividends were not paid the first year, but $10,000 cash dividends were paid in both 2010 and 2011.
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry to record the change in accounting principle. (All tax effects should be reflected in the deferred tax liability account.)
2. Prepare the 2011–2010 comparative income statements beginning with income before income taxes.
3. Prepare the 2011–2010 comparative statements of shareholders' equity. (Hint: The 2009 statements reported retained earnings of $36,000. This is $60,000 − [$60,000 × 40%].

The management of Coker Corp. is doing a quick forecast of 20X9 using the modified percentage of sales method
The management of Coker Corp. is doing a quick forecast of 20X9 using the modified percentage of sales method in preparation for a more detailed planning exercise later in the month. The estimate is to assume a 10% growth in sales. All other line items are to be assumed to grow at the same rate except for fixed assets which is projected to increase by $88,000 due to an expansion program already underway. Approximate financial statements for the current year, 20X8, and a planning worksheet are shown below. The firm pays 9% interest on all of its debt. Assume the tax rate is a flat 25%. There are no plans for dividends or the sale of additional stock next year. Make a forecast of Coker’s complete income statement and balance sheet. Work to the nearest thousand dollars. (Hints: The easiest way to grow a number by 10% is to multiply it by 1.1 rather than taking 10% and adding. Do not grow subtotals. For example, to grow Revenue and COGS by 10%, round each to the nearest thousand and subtract for Gross Margin. Don’t grow interest, debt, or equity; use the debt/interest iteration technique.)

CA8-10 (FIFO and LIFO) Harrisburg Company is considering changing its inventory valuation method from FIFO to LIFO because of the potential tax savings. However, the management wishes to consider all of the effects on the company, including its reported performance, before making the final decision.
The inventory account, currently valued on the FIFO basis, consists of 1,000,000 units at $8 per unit on January 1, 2010. There are 1,000,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 1, 2010, and the cash balance is $400,000.
The company has made the following forecasts for the period 2010–2012.

1. Year-end inventory balances.
2. Annual net income after taxes.
3. Earnings per share.
4. Cash balance.
Assume all sales are collected in the year of sale and all purchases, operating expenses, and taxes are paid during the year incurred.
