The Canton Corporation shows the following income statement. The firm uses FIFO inventory accounting.

CANTON CORPORATION
Income Statement for 20X1
Sales	\(272,800 (17,600 units at \)15.50)
Cost of goods sold	123,200 (17,600 units at \(7)
Gross profit	\)149,600
Selling and administrative expenses	13,640
Depreciation	15,900
Operating profits	\(120,060
Taxes (30%)	36,018
After tax income	\)84,042

a. Assume in 20X2 the same 17,600-unit volume is maintained, but that the sales price increases by 10 percent. Because of FIFO inventory policy, old inventory will still be charged off at $7 per unit. Also assume selling and administrative expense will be 5 percent of sales and depreciation will be unchanged. The tax rate is 30 percent. Compute aftertax income for 20X2.
