The Hasting Company began operations on January 1, 2013 and uses the FIFO method in costing its raw material inventory. An analyst is wondering what net income would have been if the company had consistently followed LIFO (instead of FIFO) from the beginning, 1/1/2013. He has the following information available to him:

What would net income have been in 2014 if Hastings had used LIFO since 1/1/2013?
