Juliana Corporation was incorporated on January 2, 2020 with an initial capitalization of $250,000 (50,000 shares of common stock). The company has been using the LIFO method of inventory valuation since inception. At the beginning of 2022, company management decided to switch to the FIFO method because it is used by all other companies in the industry. The accounting entry to make this accounting change to FIFO was made on January 1, 2022. Julie Sharp, Controller, prepared the preliminary 2022 financial statements using FIFO for the 2022 financial statements.

That retained earnings statement is the tricky one, so that's why I'm asking you to do it both ways
