Prepare comparative statements for the 5 years, assuming that Bramble changed its method of inventory pricing to average-cost. Indicate the effects on net income and earnings per share for the years involved. Bramble Instruments started business in 2015. Assume that the number of shares outstanding is 100. (Enter amounts that decrease cost of goods sold using either a negative sign preceding the number e.g. -15,000 or parentheses e.g. (15,000). Round all amounts except EPS to the nearest whole dollar, e.g. 5,275. Round Earnings Per Share to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.62. Round up the tax effects to the next whole dollar.)
