Answer:
Net income = $688
Explanation:
If Nu elects FIFO, we have:
Cost of good sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending inventories = 2,490 - 1,260 = $1,230
Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of good sold = 2,870 - 1,230 = $1,640
Net operating income = Gross profit - Operating expenses = 1,640 - 780 = $860
Tax = $860 × 20% = $172
Net income = $860 - $172 = $688
