Taylor Corporation reports inventory and cost of goods sold based on calculations from a LIFO periodic inventory system. The companys records under this system reveal the following inventory layers at the beginning of 2021 (listed in chronological order of acquisition):

11,000 units @ $20 $ 220,000

16,000 units @ $25 400,000

Beginning inventory $ 620,000

During 2021, 32,000 units were purchased for $30 per unit. Due to unexpected demand for the company's product, 2021 sales totaled 40,000 units at various prices, leaving 19,000 units in ending inventory.

Required:

1. Calculate the amount to report for cost of goods sold for 2021.

2. Determine the amount of LIFO liquidation profit that the company must report in a disclosure note to its 2021 financial statements. Assume an income tax rate of 25%.

3. If the company decided to purchase an additional 8,000 units at $30 per unit at the end of the year, how much income tax currently payable would be saved?
