Question

Given below is the 5-year summary of income under LIFO and a schedule of what the inventories would be if stated on the average-cost method.

Prepare comparative statements for the 5 years, assuming that Utrillo changed its method of inventory pricing to average-cost. Indicate the effects on net income and earnings per share for the years involved. Utrillo Instruments started business in 2009.
