Mozart Company uses a perpetual inventory system for its one product.  Its beginning inventory and purchases during year 2002 follow:

 

        Date                                                   Units                    Unit Cost

 

January 1                               Inventory    400                        $14     

March 10                               Purchase     200                          15

May       9                              Purchase     300                          16

Sept.     22                             Purchase     250                           20

Nov.      28                            Purchase     100                           21

 

At December 31, 2002, 550 units are in inventory.  Sales in year 2002 are as follows:

 

 January 15            200 units at $30

 April 1                  200 units at $30

 November 1          300 units at $35

 

Additional unit cost tracking data for use in applying specific identification:

 

 (1) January 15 sale - 200 units @ $14, (2) April 1 sale - 200 units @15, and (3) November 

  1 sale - 200 units @ $14 and 100 units @ $ 20.

 

Management wants a report that shows how changing from FIFO to another method

 would change net income.  Prepare a schedule showing  (1) the cost of goods sold amount

 under each of the four methods, (2) the amount by which each cost of goods sold total is

 different from the FIFO cost of goods sold, and (3) the effect on net income if another

 method is used instead of FIFO.
