  B.      Included                Excluded
 
  C.      Excluded               Included
 
  Solution: B
 
  Depreciation is included in the computation of operating expenses. Interest expense is a financing
 
  cost. Thus, it is excluded from operating expenses.
 
  Q4-52 An example of an expense classification by function is:
 
  A. tax expense.
 
  B. interest expense.
 
  C. cost of goods sold.
 
  Solution:C.

  B. Increasing the useful life of an intangible asset.
 
  C. Decreasing the residual value of a depreciable tangible asset.
 
  Solution: C
 
  Decreasing the residual (salvage) value of a depreciable long‐lived asset will result in higherdepreciation expense and, thus, lower pretax income.
 
  Q4-55CC Corporation reported the following inventory transactions (in chronological order) for the year: (NotesB3‐81 9)
 
  Purchase           Sales
 
  40 units at $30     13 units at $35
 
  20 units at $40     35 units at $45
 
  90 units at $50     60 units at $60
 
  Assuming inventory at the beginning of the year was zero, calculate the year‐end inventory usingFIFO and LIFO.
 
  FIFO    LIFO
 
  A.        $5,220  $1,040
 
  B.        $2,100  $1,280
 
  C.        $2,100  $1,040
 
  Solution: B
 
  108 units were sold (13 + 35 + 60) and 150 units were available for sale (beginning inventory of 0 pluspurchases of 40 + 20 + 90), so there are 150 — 108 = 42 units in ending inventory. Under FIFO, unitsfrom the last batch purchased would remain in inventory: 42 x $50 = $2,100. Under LIFO, the first 42units purchased would be in inventory: (40 x $30) + (2 x $40) = $1,280.
 
  Q4-56  Changing an accounting estimate:

  A change in an accounting estimate is reported prospectively.No restatement of prior period
 
  statements is necessary.
 
  Q4-57 Which of the following transactions would most likely be reported below incomefrom continuing operations, net of tax?
 
  A. Gain or loss from the sale of equipment used in a firm's manufacturing operation.
 
  B. A change from the accelerated method of depreciation to the straight‐line method.
 
  C. The operating income of a physically and operationally distinct division that is currently for
 
  sale, but not yet sold.
 
  Solution: C
 
  A physically and operationally distinct division that is currently for sale is treated as adiscontinued operation. The income from the division is reported net of tax below income fromcontinuing operations. Changing a depreciation method is a change of accounting principle,which is applied retrospectively and will change operating income.
 
  Q4-58Which of the following statements about nonrecurring items is least accurate?
 
  A. Gains from extraordinary items are reported net of taxes at the bottom of the incomestatement before net income.
