Why does net income change with the FIFO?

FIFO (first in first out) is a method of account for inventory. With FIFO, if inventory costs are increasing your cost of goods sold will be lower than under the LIFO (last in first out) method. If inventory costs are increasing, FIFO will result in higher net income (lower COGS) than LIFO. If inventory costs are decreasing, FIFO will result in lower net income (higher COGS) than LIFO.

What are the advantages of LIFO?

The major advantage of LIFO comes from the assumption that costs of goods typically increase over time. When expensing goods under LIFO in an environment in which costs are increases, you typically will report lower net income than under alternative methods such as FIFO, which decreases your tax liability.
