    A)

    Income before Income Tax 469,200.00

    Income Tax ($469200 X 35%) 164,220.00

    Net Income 304,980.00

    B)

    2015 Weighted Average = 379,700.00

    2016 Weighted Average = 407,400.00

    2015 FIFO = 401,700.00

    2016 FIFO = 427,900.00

    2015 Difference between weighted average and FIFO 22,000.00

    2016 Difference between weighted average and FIFO 20,500.00

    Total difference = 42,500

    Tax = 42,500*0.35 = 14,875

    Net effect = 42,500 - 14,875 = 27,625.00

    C)

    2017 2016 2015

    Income before Income Tax 469,200.00 427,900.00 401,700.00

    Income tax (35%) 164,220.00 149,765.00 140,595.00

    Net Income 304,980.00 278,135.00 261,105.00
