The Reuschel Company began 2018 with inventory of 10,000 units at a cost of $7 per unit. During 2018, 50,000 units were purchased for $8.50 each. Sales for the year totaled 54,000 units leaving 6,000 units on hand at the end of 2018. Reuschel uses a periodic inventory system and the LIFO inventory cost method.

Effect of layer liquidation= 4000* 1.50
