The management of BB were worried that BB would not be ableto reach its forecasted sales and profits for 2020.

After takingthe necessary measures to increase its sales, BB, on 15 December 2020, managed to secure a large order from a customer in Jakarta, Indonesia. The customer had specifically informed BBthat it would take delivery of the products in early January 2021. This large order was a hugerelief to the management of BB. Instruction was made to the account manager to record theorder amounting RM350,000 as sale revenue for year 2020. Furthermore, instruction was madeto record the products ordered by the customer as inventory for 2020 as shipment would onlybe made in January 2021. Cost of the products was RM60,000. However, the account managerhad unintentionally made an error in recording the inventory, which had resulted the endinginventory overstated by RM60,000. BB’s financial year ends on 31 December.During 2020, the inflation had increased due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The increasing priceshad affected BB's cost of production. The management of BB were concerned about inventoryvaluation method during the inflationary period. Since its inception, BB has been using theaverage-cost method to account for its inventories.

The airline industry was hit particularly hard after the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center in 2001. In 2002, Southwest Airlines, one of the healthier airline companies, decided to lengthen the useful lives of its aircraft from 22 to 27 years. Shortly thereafter, following Southwest’s lead, other airlines made the same move.(a) What advantage, if any, did the airlines gain by making this change in estimate?(b) Would it have changed earnings or cash flows, and if it did, would the change have been favorable or negative?(c) Some people argue that the useful lives and depreciation of airplanes are irrelevant.They claim that because of the extensive maintenance and testing that airline companies are required by law to perform; the planes theoretically can be in service for an indefinite future period. What is wrong with this argument?
