Jaffa Company prepared its annual financial statements dated December 31 of the current year. The company applies the FIFO inventory costing method; however, the company neglected to apply lower of cost or net realizable value to the ending inventory. The preliminary current year income statement follows:

Sales revenue				$	296,000
Cost of goods sold
Beginning inventory	$	34,600
Purchases		200,000
Goods available for sale		234,600
Ending inventory (FIFO cost)		66,794
Cost of goods sold					167,806
Gross profit					128,194
Operating expenses					63,600
Pretax income					64,594
Income tax expense (35%)					22,608
Net income				$	41,986
