Heller determined that its cost of goods sold under FIFO would have been 250,000 in 2019. For 2020, Hellers cost of goods sold under FIFO was 360,000, while it would have been 410,000 under LIFO. Heller is subject to a 21% income tax rate. Compute the cumulative effect of the retrospective adjustment on prior years income (net of taxes) that Heller would report on its retained earnings statement for 2020.
