(b) Assume that in 2014, Yuan, which had been using the LIFO method since incorporation in 2011, changed to the FIFO cost formula in order to comply with CICA Handbook, Part II, Section 3031, since LIFO is not a permitted inventory cost flow assumption under GAAP. The company applies the new policy retrospectively. Prepare the necessary journal entry for the change, and provide all the information that is needed for reporting on a comparative basis.
