Change in GAAP, The Hershey Company

Page 1 of The Hershey Company: Change in Generally Accepted Accounting Principle (GAAP) Suppose Hershey Company, in Y11, adopted the new leasing accounting standards promulgated by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Adoption of this standard resulted in capitalizing more assets as capital assets, and increasing depreciation expense, which conversely reduced tax expense. More specifically, the effect is shown below: Prior to Y11 Y10 Y10 Increase property, plant, and equipment $168,000 $129,000 $586,000 Increase other long-term liabilities $168,000 $129,000 $586,000 Increase depreciation expense $16,800 $12,900 $58,600 Decrease tax expense due to increased depreciation charges $5,040 $3,870 $17,580 To record this accounting change, the company debited Property, plant, and equipment and credited Other long-term liabilities to record capitalization of the leases per the new lease standard. Depreciation expense is a component of Selling, marketing, and administrative expense, Tax expense is provision for income taxes on the income statement, and Tax payable is shown on the balance sheet as Accrued income taxes. Your journal entries will swing the account to a debit balance; that's fine, just show it as a negative liability on the balance sheet for purposes of this problem. Required: 1) Journalize the adjusting entries below, resulting from adoption of the new accounting standard 2) Update the comparative financial statements by drawing a single line through the numbers that need to be restated, writing the restated numbers as well as showing the computation needed to arrive at the restated numbers. Also on the financial statements, update all subtotals and total accordingly DR Page 2 of 3 THE HERSHEY COMPANY INCOME STATEMENT YEARS' ENDED DECEMBER 31, Y11 Y10 $ 6,080,788 $ 5,671,009 Net Sales Costs and Expenses: Cost of sales Selling, marketing, admin.
