please help me with section 3 and 4
During 2019 (its first year of operations) and 2020, Fieri Foods used the FIFO inventory costing method for both financial

and tax purposes.
Income components before income tax for 2019, 2020, and 2021 were as follows:
(S in millions)
Revenues
Cost of goods sold (FIFO)
Cost of goods sold (average)
Operating expenses
Dividends of $25 million were paid each year. Fieri's fiscal year ends December 31.
Required:
1. Prepare the journal entry at the beginning of 2021 to record the change in accounting principle. (Ignore income taxes.)
2. Prepare the 2021-2020 comparative income statements.
3. & 4. Determine the balance in retained earnings at January 1, 2020 as Fieri reported using FIFO method and determine the
adjustment of balance in retained earnings as on January 1, 2020 using average method instead of FIFO method.
