Sandstone, Inc

question 60

True/False

Sandstone, Inc., has consistently included some factory overhead as a current expense, rather than as a cost of producing goods. As a result, the beginning inventory for 2017 is understated by $40,000. If Sandstone voluntarily changes accounting methods effective January 1, 2017, the positive adjustment to the inventory is a § 481 adjustment and $10,000 must be added to taxable income for each year 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020.
