Assume the following inventory footnote was obtained from the Snapper Corporation 10-K ($ millions). Inventories Most inventories owned by Snapper and its United States equipment subsidiaries are valued at cost, on the "last-in, first-out" (LIFO) basis. Remaining inventories are generally valued at the lower of cost, on the "first-in, first-out" (FIFO) basis, or market. The value of gross inventories on the LIFO basis represented 61 percent of worldwide gross inventories at FIFO value on October 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. If all inventories had been valued on a FIFO basis, estimated inventories by major classification at October 31 in millions of dollars would have been as follows: Raw materials and supplies Work-in-process Finished machine and parts Total FIFO value 2016 Inventories $716 425 2,126 3,267 Less adjustment to LIFO value 632 $2,635 2015 $ 589 408 2,004 3,001 502 $2,499 We notice that not all of Snapper's inventories are reported using the same inventory costing method (companies can use different inventory costing methods for different inventory pools). What effect has the use of LIFO inventory costing had on Snapper's tax liability for 2016 only (assume a 35% income tax rate)?
