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 $20 million higher using FIFO. Retained earnings reported at the end of 2016 and 2017 was $240 million and $260 million, respectively (reflecting the LIFO method). Those amounts reflecting the FIFO method would have been $250 million and $272 million, respectively. 2017 net income reported at the end of 2017 was $28 million (LIFO method) but would have been $30 million using FIFO. After changing to FIFO, 2018 net income was $36 million. Dividends of $8 million were paid each year. The tax rate is 40%.
