NONE

Explanation:

The change will not be retrospective but prospective because although accounting standards require that when a company changes accounting methods, it needs to restate its assets and income amounts; in the case of inventory is not practicable.

Adjusting previous years inventory balances from FIFO to LIFO will not be possible, hence there will be no prior-year adjustments
