I need help with this general accounting question using the proper accounting approach.

Strudel Company reported 2008 sales ($ in millions) of $4,825 and a cost of goods sold of $3,560. The company uses the LIFO method for inventory valuation. It discloses that if the FIFO inventory valuation method had been used, inventories would have been $86.3 million and $71.8 million higher in 2008 and 2007, respectively. If Strudel used the FIFO method exclusively, it would have reported 2008 gross profit closest to? A. $1,265.0 million B. $1,279.5 million C. $1,351.3 million
