No. It's first in first out.
Generally accepted accounting principles will typically carry inventory value based on one of these three systems: 1. FIFO - First in first out. 2. LIFO - Last in first out. 3. Moving Average
Yes, LIFO (Last In, First Out) is allowed under GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) but it is less commonly used compared to FIFO (First In, First Out) due to its impact on inventory valuation and tax implications.
GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) is a set of accounting rules and standards used in the United States, while GAAS (Generally Accepted Auditing Standards) is a set of auditing standards used by auditors when examining and reporting on financial statements. While GAAP provides guidelines for how financial statements should be prepared, GAAS provides guidelines for how auditors should conduct their audits and issue their reports. In summary, GAAP focuses on accounting principles, while GAAS focuses on auditing standards.
Reporting methods, measurement systems, and disclosures used by a specific company. The accountant should evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies employed by management. A description of the company's accounting policies should be presented in a separate section preceding the footnotes to the financial statements or as the first footnote. Disclosure of accounting policies should include Accounting Principles and methods of application that involve: (1) a selection from generally accepted alternatives; (2) those peculiar to the industry or field of endeavor; and (3) unusual or different applications of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP).

Cost Accounting related to accounting methods and techniques used by managers to operate their firms. Examples include raw materials, labor and manufacturing overhead management. On the other hand, Financial Accounting refers to generally accepted accounting principles that produce results (profit, earnings per share) which are reliable (can be used by analysts and creditors to predict future earnings) and comparable (with other companies). The first type deals more with managerial issues and does not define any "proper" way of reporting a company's financial statements, while the second one is all about bringing a common set of rules that all companies should follow when reporting performance results.
Moving average inventory method is not GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles). LIFO (last in, first out) or FIFO (first in, first out) are GAAP. FIFO is the most common method and easy to compute; however LIFO may be used but is much more complicated to compute unless your businesses computer system computes the LIFO computation.
