    c. $1,254,000.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the net income under the LIFO method is shown below:

    = Net income of the current year - final inventory under FIFO method for current year + final inventory under LIFO method for the current year

    = $1,330,000 - $712,000 + $636,000

    = $1,254,000

    The change in the inventory method would impact the current year's net income and according to that, the calculations are shown above.
