Answer:

a)     $360,000

b)     $52,000

c) Net Income                             360,000            344,000        316,000

Explanation:

Part 1) Determine the net income for 2020 as follows using the First In First Out (FIFO)

= FIFO 2020 = $450,000 - The Income Tax

= $450,000 - ($450,000 x 0.35)

= $450,000- $90,000

= $360,000

Part 2) Compute the cumulative effect in change of the weighted average to FIFO

 Weighted average  FIFO    Difference    Tax@35%(difference)  net effect

2018  370,000               395,000    25,000                     5,000           20,000

2019   390,000              430,000     40,000                    8,000           32,000

Total in Net effect                                                                               $52,000

Part 3) Show comparative income statement as follows

                                                         2020                     2019                2018

Income before tax                          450,000              430,000         395,000

Remove the tax (@20)                      90,000                86,000          79,000

Net Income                                       360,000            344,000        316,000
