Fava Company began operations in 2012 and used the LIFO inventory method for both financial reporting and income taxes. At the beginning of 2013, the anticipated cost trends in the industry had changed, so that it adopted the FIFO method for both financial reporting and income taxes. Fava reported revenues of $300,000 and $270,000 in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Fava reported expenses (excluding income tax expense) of $125,000 and $120,000 in 2013 and 2012, which included cost of goods sold of $55,000 and $45,000, respectively. An analysis indicates that the FIFO cost of goods sold would have been lower by $8,000 in 2012. The tax rate is 30%. Fava has a simple capital structure with 15,000 shares of common stock outstanding during 2012 and 2013. It paid no dividends in either year.
