    Accounting question
    The Hasting Company began operations on January 1, 2003 and uses the FIFO method in costing its raw material inventory. An analyst is wondering what net income would have been if the company had consistently followed LIFO (instead of FIFO) from the beginning, 1/1/2003. He has the following information available to him:
    12/31/2003 12/31/2004
    Final Inventory Final Inventory
    Under FIFO $240,000 Under FIFO $270,000
    Under LIFO $200,000 Under LIFO $210,000

    For 3003 For 2004
    Pretax Income under FIFO $120,000 $170,000

    What would net income have been in 2004 if Hastings had used LIFO since 1/1/2003?

    $ 110,000
    $ 150,000
    $ 170,000
    $ 230,000

    Please, explain how to solve this one.
