Answer 1

Net Income $574

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation of Nueva's net income if it elects FIFO will be :

Net sales$7,400

Less Cost of goods sold ($4,806)

($5,610 − $804)

Gross profit 2,594

Operating expenses (1,638)

Income before taxes 956

(2,594-1,638)

Income tax 382.4

(40%×956)

Net income $574

(956-382.4)

Therefore the Nueva's net income if it elects FIFO would be $574
