    Hi Mr MikeLittle
    I have a question about comparability

    Inventory has up to this year been valued using FIFO but the accountant is considering changing to the
    weighted average method for the year to 31 March 20X6. According that

    In applying the principle of comparability, how should the change of inventory valuation basis be accounted
    for?
    A The change should just be disclosed.
    B The financial statements for 31 March 20X6 should show both methods.
    C The notes should show what the profit would have been if the change had not taken place.
    D The financial statements for the prior period as shown at 31 March 20X6 should be restated using the
    weighted average basis.

    In this question there is two answers but it is only selected one answer D. why they dont also select option A. because it was written in the book that if there is any changes in the valution method it should be disclosed in Fin Statement

    Thanks for attention

    Because option A states “The change should JUST be disclosed”

    Option D caters for both the restatement of the financial statements and that would automatically include / incorporate the disclosure of the change in accounting policy

    OK?
