Respuesta :

Answer:

$459

Explanation:

Computation of the given data are as follows:

Tax rate = 30%

Income before taxes (FIFO method) = $21,330

So, tax amount = $21,330 × 30%

= $6,399

Income before taxes (LIFO method) = $19,800

So, tax amount = $19,800 × 30%

= $5,940

So, we can calculate the difference in taxes by using following formula:

Difference in Tax = $6,399 - $5,940

= $459
