Harlequin Co. has used the LIFO retail method since it began
     operations in early 2015 (its base year). Its beginning inventory for 2016 was
     $36,000 at cost and $72,000 at retail prices. At the end of 2016, it computed its
     estimated ending inventory at retail to be $120,000. Assuming its cost-to-retail
     percentage for 2016 transactions was 60%, what is the inventory balance that
     Harlequin Co. would report in its 12/31/16 balance sheet? Hint: $64,800
Using the data from #13 assume Harlequin uses the dollar-value LIFO retail
      method instead and that the retail price index for 2016 was 1.20. What is the
      inventory balance that Harlequin would report in its 12/31/16 balance sheet?
