A company reports inventory and cost of goods sold based on calculations from a LIFO periodic inventory system. The company's records under this system reveal the following inventory layers at the beginning of 2024 (listed in chronological order of acquisition) During \( 2024,30,000 \) units were purchased for \( \$ 25 \) per unit. Due to unexpected demand for the company's product, 2024 sales totaled 40,000 units at various prices, leaving 15,000 units in ending inventory. Required: 1. Calculate the amount to report for cost of goods sold for 2024 . 2. Determine the amount of LIFO liquidation profit that the company must report in a disclosure note to its 2024 financial statements. Assume an income tax rate of \( 25 \% \). 3. If the company decided to purchase an additional 10,000 units at \( \$ 25 \) per unit at the end of the year, how much income tax currently payable would be saved?
