a.

Assume in 2014 the same 17,900-unit volume is maintained, but that the sales price increases by 10 percent. Because of FIFO inventory policy, old inventory will still be charged off at $11.50 per unit. Also assume selling and administrative expense will be 6 percent of sales and depreciation will be unchanged. The tax rate is 30 percent. Compute aftertax income for 2014. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

Now assume that in 2015 the volume remains constant at 17,900 units, but the sales price decreases by 15 percent from its year 2014 level. Also, because of FIFO inventory policy, cost of goods sold reflects the inflationary conditions of the prior year and is $12.00 per unit.
