This is a combination of 305 excess ;IFGj^rite-up on 12/31/74 over standard, which should have been set ijp-jan^ '^nprtized over the current year, and 133 inventory writedown ,,due ,,to actual values at 6/25/75 being less than standard at that dafeata. Adjustingfdt the 305, the net LIFO effect for 1975 would be a pick up jin.earnings of 146. That is, LIFO adjustments 279 less the corrected inventory write-down; 438 - 305 = 133. The. attaejig.d.observations track the many adjustments needed to properly state-;the;.inventory accounts. TVR. F. Hagen / :: a H. << ,I > #QftM NO* 81-088 RETH/fCW f.
