Stellar Co. decides at the beginning of 2017 to adopt the FIFO method of inventory valuation. Stellar had used the LIFO method for financial reporting since its inception on January 1, 2015, and had maintained records adequate to apply the FIFO method retrospectively. Stellar concluded that FIFO is the preferable inventory method because it reflects the current cost of inventory on the balance sheet. The following table presents the effects of the change in accounting principles on inventory and cost of goods sold.

		Inventory Determined by				Cost of Goods Sold Determined by
Date		LIFO Method		FIFO Method		LIFO Method		FIFO Method
January 1, 2015		$ 0		$ 0		$ 0		$ 0
December 31, 2015		100		8		850		942
December 31, 2016		180		250		990		828
December 31, 2017		310		400		1,230		1,210

Retained earnings reported under LIFO are as follows.

		Retained Earnings Balance
December 31, 2015		$920
December 31, 2016		1,700
December 31, 2017		2,240
