Shown above are the income statements, statements of retained earnings, and balance sheets for Cardinal Company for the years 2019 and 2020.

Assume Cardinal Company developed a new, innovative process for manufacturing their product, and had that process successfully patented

(an intangible asset) at a cost of $30,000, on January 1, 2018.At that time, the patent was assigned an 8-year useful life and as such has

been amortized at the rate of $3,750 per year ($30,000/8yrs).You can see this in the book value of the patent for 2019 ($22,500, which is the

$30,000 minus 2018 and 2019 amortization of $3,750 each year) and 2020 ($18,750, which is the $30,000 minus 2018, 2019, and 2020 amortization).

Each year's journal entry for this amortization was a debit to Amortization expense and credit to Patent.

Pretend that near the end of 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued a new pronouncement which requires that intangible

assets not be amortized, that they be kept on the books at original cost, as is done with land.In changing their accounting to comply with

this new pronouncement, Cardinal Company decided to go all the way back to 2018 and treat the patent as though it had never been

amortized.Income tax expense is at the rate of 20% of net income before tax.The comparative financial statements shown above reflect
