Question
Bramble Corp., which began operations in January 2020, follows IFRS and is subject to a 30% income tax rate. In 2023, the following
events took place:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The company switched from the zero-profit method to the percentage-of-completion method of accounting for its long-term
construction projects. This change was a result of experience with the project and improved ability to estimate the costs to
completion and therefore the percentage complete.
Due to a change in maintenance policy, the estimated useful life of Bramble's fleet of trucks was lengthened.
It was discovered that a machine with an original cost of $240,000, residual value of $30,800, and useful life of 4 years was
expensed in error on January 23, 2022, when it was acquired. This situation was discovered after preparing the 2023
adjusting entries but before calculating income tax expense and closing the accounts. Bramble uses straight-line depreciation
and takes a full year of depreciation in the year of acquisition. The asset's cost had been appropriately added to the CCA class
in 2022 before the CCA was calculated and claimed.
As a result of an inventory study early in 2023 after the accounts for 2022 had been closed, management decided that the
weighted average cost formula would provide a more relevant presentation in the financial statements than the FIFO cost
formula. In making the change to weighted average cost, Bramble determined the following:
Inventory-Weighted
Average Cost
$73,500
Date
Inventory-FIFO Cost
Dec. 31, 2022
$88,000
Dec. 31, 2021
123,000
94,400
Dec. 31, 2020
182,000
138,600
