Change in accounting principle [Abstract] |
Change in accounting principle | 16. Change in accounting principle Effective April 1, 2022, TransAct changed its method of inventory valuation from standard costing which approximated the FIFO costing methodology to the average costing methodology. We believe this methodology is preferable because it reflects a better estimate of inventory cost as we do not typically perform intensive manufacturing of our finished products, which are therefore better measured under average cost. In addition, our business is projected to include an increasing sales volume of software going forward, which better aligns with average costing. Comparative financial statements of prior periods have been adjusted to apply the new method retrospectively. Tax effects are calculated at the Company’s marginal tax rate, or the tax impact of incremental income changes rather than the average tax rate applied to our total net loss before income taxes. The following financial statement line items for the periods presented were impacted by the change in accounting principle. The effect of the changes made to the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented are as follows:
