Fantasy Fashions had used the LIFO method of costing
inventories, but at the beginning of 2018 decided to change to the
FIFO method. The inventory as reported at the end of 2017 using
LIFO would have been $10 million higher using FIFO.
Retained earnings reported at the end of 2016 and 2017 was $230
million and $250 million, respectively (reflecting the LIFO
method). Those amounts reflecting the FIFO method would have been
$240 million and $262 million, respectively. 2017 net income
reported at the end of 2017 was $18 million (LIFO method) but would
have been $20 million using FIFO. After changing to FIFO, 2018 net
income was $26 million. Dividends of $9 million were paid each
year. The tax rate is 40%.
