Fava Company began operations in 2018 and used the LIFO inventory method for both financial reporting and income taxes. At the beginning of 2019, the anticipated cost trends in the industry had changed, so that it adopted the FIFO method for both financial reporting and income taxes. Fava reported revenues of 300,000 and 270,000 in 2019 and 2018, respectively. Fava reported expenses (excluding income tax expense) of 125,000 and 120,000 in 2019 and 2018, which included cost of goods sold of 55,000 and 45,000, respectively. An analysis indicates that the FIFO cost of goods sold would have been lower by 8,000 in 2018. The tax rate is 21%.

Kraft Manufacturing Company manufactures two products: Mult and Tran. At December 31, 2019, Kraft used the FIFO inventory method. Effective January 1, 2020, Kraft changed to the LIFO inventory method.

Any layers added during 2020 should be costed by reference to the first acquisitions of 2020, and any layers liquidated during 2020 should be considered a permanent liquidation. The following information was available from Krafts inventory records for the two most recent years: Required: Compute the effect on income before income taxes for the year ended December 31, 2020, resulting from the change from the FIFO to the LIFO inventory method.
