    c. $1,054,000

    Explanation:

    The computation of the net income due to change in the LIFO method is shown below:

    = Net income under FIFO method for 2015 - (Inventory under FIFO method for 2015 - Inventory under FIFO method for 2015)

    = $1,130,000 - ($712,000 - $636,000)

    = $1,1,30,000 - $76,000

    = $1,054,000

    All other information which is given is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
